Hey guys, thought I'd just ask the hive mind of reefers if they have any input on this!
This is my female Percula Clownfish. Probably just over a year old, got her and her mate very small.
Both fish were the first fish in the system, 2 month QT and copper based treatment prior to going in DT, That was almost exactly a year ago.
Since then, 4 other fish have been added (Bangai, lawnmower blenny, sixline, and a orange spotted goby). All QT'd for at LEAST 1 month before going into Display tank.
I've never seen any fish, let alone the clowns with any issues. This issue is only on my female too. Male is perfectly clear.
I am ASSUMING based on photos and info I can find online, that its not ich or brook.
Nothing seems to be stuck, growing, etc.
It literally just looks on close inspection like 5-10 of her scales have been bent up. The white spots are just evidence of light shining across the bent scales.
She is eating well, hasn't been rubbing on anything that I've seen, and hasn't been going to the cleaner shrimp that I've seen.
Alk - 10
Nitrate - 10
Phosphate - 0.05
Calcium - 480
Mag - 1400
Temp - 78.5
Salinity - 34.5ppt
So, now you have all the info, anything I should worry about or does it look like a standard bump and bruise situation?
Thanks in advance!
