I noticed today three of my clowns has some white fuzzy stuffs on their fins and mouth....I have these fish for about a month and they were all doing fine.

All are still eating and swimming actively but those white stuffs do make me worry. They are all my beloved clowns (platinum, snowflake and snowonyx) so anyone had deal with this problem, please share your knowledge on how to treat them. I thank you for your time.
 
Thanks everyone for the response.

After doing some more researches, I found the fish might have "lymphocystis" virus. From what I read, there is no treatment for this virus beside keeping the fish have good appetite and doing WC regularly. Cross my finger :(

Lymphocyctis is not fuzzy in appearance though, it more like lumpy growth and haze. I would still get some Melafix and mix it with the food as well as some Selcon since the fish are still eating take advantage of it.
