I bought this clownfish 5 days ago, initially noticing a small, flat, red dot on his lower jaw and thinking it was a birth mark. Each day it has become more imflammed/enlarged, he has been eating consistantly and behaving normally untill today where he is quite reserved and timid. Additionally noticed today he opens his mouth more frequently.

The red spot evolving into that dark growth sounds like a bacterial infection. For infections of the mouth/head area have had very good results treating with both Sulfaplex + Neoplex.
