Hi everyone,

I noticed that my clownfish have something white above and below their mouths. Are these ich?? If so, what are some ways to treat them?
I've enclosed pictures just to give you guys an idea.

Thanks for any help/advice!

Any chance of a less fuzzy picture? From what I can see it looks a bit like my clown does when she's "bruised" herself. Have your clowns been rearranging rockwork or fighting?

Come to think of it.. Yes, they HAVE been fighting. So just bruised right?

That and some scraped scales. Not ich, though. It looks (roughly) like salt grains on the fish.

Here's a picture of my clown. She was rearranging my duncan coral and now her "lips" are white. (I've taken the picture just now and the halides are off hence it's not a great picture!!!)
