Hello! I’m fairly new to reefing and to this website. Recently I added some cloned bubbletip nems to my 20 gallon (established for a year now) for my ocellaris clownfish pair. They went unnoticed for a month before my clowns suddenly became obsessed with them 10 days ago. 9 days ago I noticed two pearl-like white bumps on my female clownfish’s top fin. They have remained there in the same spot and haven’t multiplied so far, but I am nervous about it being more than just irritation from rubbing on the nem. She is eating and acting normally otherwise. Should I be concerned? Could it be ich? Lymphocystis? Mucus?
Parameters are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 5ppm nitrate and always stay there every week. It’s a bit difficult to take photos since she never stays still. Thank you for your help!
