Can anyone help? I thought it was poz because my Hepatus had it (I treated it with Polylab Medic) but it must be something else because the clownfish are getting more and more or it.

They are eating and swimming normally.


Google lens search says Lymphocystis.

These fish are showing signs of bacteria and possibly from brooklynella and suggested treatment in a separate tank seachem neoplex which is a broad spectrum treatment

Welcome to Reef2Reef

It doesn’t look like lymphocystis, but I cannot rule that out 100%. How long have they had these growths?

Can you post a video? That helps me diagnose Brooklynella from other diseases.
