Re: Clown Fish
I could but my computer is down. It's not like a bite or a chunk taken outta him I noticed it As soon as I put him in the tank. The puffer he actually has been tagging along with them. The damsels fanned him off at first but now they seem fine. The best way to desribe it is oval the size of a childs pinky nail. It's somewhat transclucent as if there's less orange pigmentation. It's just before his rear tail lil bit before it but not near his stripes. It looks like I can see a fine light brownish stripe thru it. It's blurry and is directly in line with his spine or his equator parallel to the spine( horizontal) i see it appear below the skins surface. It looks like his spine. It's doesn't move or change shape at all so I do t think it's IP. It looks like he was beat up there. Few of his fins aren't in the best of shape either. Not showing anything on them just split like he was nipped on. I want his pigment to return. And fins gets a lil better. The spot is o. One side. The other side is fine. I wanted to add melafix but I'm afraid to blow my skimmer up while I sleep or work.

Re: Clown Fish
I would add melafix, take out any carbon type media, turn the skimmer off and give it 24hrs. If you have good water movement it should be fine.
Skimmer/carbon will neutralize melafix quickly.
