2" Gold Stripe Maroon Clown had over a week no signs of anything until today. Looks like white lint or scale on forehead and right cheek behind the eye. It eats well, swims fine, and no heavy breathing. THE SPOTS IN THE PHOTO ARE JUST PODS photo was taken at night. Only other fish are 3 Chromis and 3 Purple Queen anthias which are doing fine. I also tested my water and everything is fine. Only thing i did recently was add chemipure elite to my filtration. Sorry i know photos are the best but hope you can help. I was planning to give him a bath in Kordon Rid Ich plus which contains formaldehyde for about 15-30mins. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Joe (i can also try to take more photos if needed) clown1.JPGclown3.JPGclown2.JPG

Lymphocycits Virus, causes small growths on the fish, white and fluffy looking. Nothing to worry about self healing, should clear up in a week or two most likely. Don't need to medicate or anything.
