I have 2 percula clownfish in my 55 gallon aquarium. I have had both of them for over 3 months. They have been doing great until earlier this week when the larger one of the two did no eat and i noticed a whitish growth in her mouth. She seems to stay in one location most of the time, but she still looks healthy and her stomach dosent apper to be caving in yet. She hasnt eatin since Monday. I was jsut wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I tried top get a pic but could not get a good one of the growth. Any advice woudl be great. All water paramaters tested out fine.

Can you describe the growth some? Puffy, bumpy, smooth, looks hard, looks soft / fleshy, etc...
Is it possible that it's an injury and not an infection? Could your clown have been in a fight with one of your other fish (possibly with one of the damsels) and injured its mouth?

Put in into a quarantine tank with R/O water preferably. I had the same problem about the same time as you did with my clown. My clown had it WAY WAY bad.. but he is doing great now. I had him in quarantine for about a month or 2 and changed the water as much as I could. Make sure there's plenty of places to hide. I tried using some medicine, but that didn't work. Freshwater dips and good clean water should do the trick and make sure its well fed with a variety of food but try not to overfeed. try to make sure the temperature dosn't change much either.
i have a clown that took on a coral butiey angl and the clown was small and the angl was big and the clown won shoking ley the coral butiey angl got hhert bad a lot of scal mising
I left him in there until he seemed stressed, Make sure theres lots of air and the water similar in chemistry.
