Gold Band Maroon clown w/white fuzz on dorsal

pura vida mi · 02/12/2010, 11:25 PM

Sorry no pic, but I noticed tonight at feeding my female clown has a little white fuzzy looking thing at the base of the 1st dorsal fin.

All is 100% normal, but this looks like some type of growth. 6 months new to hobby, and not sure of proper action...if any?

I was at a LFS couple of weeks ago, and a naso had a white growth on his anal fin. They "pinched" it off and said it was like "herpes", no big deal.

Any ideas from my description please? She is the queen of the reef.

Google lymphocystis and see if that looks like what you have.
