Help my clown fish

[i_limantara]

my clown fish has a white dot in his body... and shopkeeper it's like bactery of clownfish....
as long as it's hard to catch it.... has another solution to take out the white dot???

i has 49g salt water, with some coral inside it...

it could be a paracitic problem...could really do with a picture if possible of the spot so we can have a better idea of what we are looking at...

i don't have any camera yet >.<"
it's a small white dot... maybe like white spot...
last time... i don't have many fish yet. i caught it and put it under the sun until 31 C.... and the white dot no longer in his body...

I have seen my friend clown fish... the white spot around his body... and become bigger.... so i think it's not white spot.

the problem is i can't caught it now.... so hard... he always hiding behind the rock >.<"

I have always used a freshwater dip for saltwater fish with ich and a saltwater dip for my freshwater fish with ich. It may stress the fish a little, but it kills the parasites.

The freshwater dips can and do remove some or most of the attached external parasites, but does not necessarily kill them all.

I am a big supporter of freshwater dips though.

It is deffinately not ich, by way of description. I've seen this on clown fish.
Does the 'white spot" grow out of the fish? If that is the case it might stay there for the rest of its natural life. My first ever clown had something similar, but it looked more like a little pimple, it went away after a month or so.

its prolly Cryptocaryon irritans the organic cure will help. and he cant catch the fish so how could he do a dip?

i think in situations like this, a picture is needed, to save clutching at straws as to what it could be...Any chance of a snap shot of it?

You may be right Andy, think we could do with a little confirmation of what you think it is though buddy...Would you agree?
