[FishKid]

Here is the description of what I see:

The perc has about 4 white-offwhite spots on the its body, the spots are about 1mm in dia. ther is one on the front of its dorsal, from the base of the dorsal, to the highest point. there are 2 spots, one on each side, in between the first and second white stripe, and one spot on the tail fin.

also (one day before i notice it) I discovered some "things" on the glass of my tank.

They kinda look like that... Any connection

I am very worried about this, as I remember a post with similar spots, and the diagnosis was Brooklynellia (sp?) I wish I could get apic, but if you read my post in general disc. youll understand why I cant.

I havent noticed any spots on my lawnmower blenny, I will look harder..

I havent added anything since i added the lawn mower blenny about month ago..

I dont think I could pick them off, because the spots appear to be flush with the skin. Im affraid to try to pick them off, because the clown fish is still very small! It actualy appears as an extra layer of skin, with dull white coloring...

Im not sure if the "bugs" that I mentioned have anything to do with it, but they look suspicious (I have found many new bugs in the past week!

I hope it is as simple s a cleaner wrasse!

any other Ideas?

I've never heard of hydroids attacking anyother fish then seahorses, never the less, I'd go check out seahorse.org to find how to get rid of them
