Sick clown update with picture

Nikki · 10-21-2005, 04:29 PM

My tank raised false percula clown has now not eaten for 7+ days :-( I have him in the QT now and have captured a picture of him. I have purchased formalin, but before I start treatment I was wondering if anyone might know what this is? You can see the white spot on his body right above the side fin and under the dorsal (I think).

Thanks,
Nikki

Has he shown any interest in live foods?

I have not tried live brine, I have tried frozen brine, frozen formula two, flake formula two and Cyclop-Eeze. The other fish that was in the same tank at the fish store with this one ate all but the flake.

It's definitely not Cryptocaryon irritans. It could be Amyloodinium ocellatum or Brooklynella hostilis. Suggested reading: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/20...ture/index.php and http://www.wetwebmedia.com/brooklynellosisart.htm

His spot is still there, but he has started eating as of yesterday :-) Now the other one is not eating :-( Thanks for the suggested reading :-)
