Hello everyone! New marine hobbyist here. Decided to become a member of this fantastic community finally. Today is the day I finally post, because one of my clowns has a strange lesion that I would love help identifying and treating.
Unfortunately he came to me like this. My LFS is dimly lit (read: moody) and I did not see this lesion before bringing the little guy home. I have a 32g with only two "nano" clowns for the moment. Water parameters perfect.
One of the clowns seems to have a strange circular lesion in his left gill. It protrudes, distorting his face from straight on.
He also has a red coloration to the fin on the same side as the gill lesion.
Over a few days of monitoring, he does not seem to be in any distress. Eating well, swimming with his tank mate.
To my eyes, the lesion seems to be getting worse.
Could anyone help identify what has infected my little dude? Would love him to live a beautiful, long and healthy life.
Thanks in advance!
