Weird thing on my Clown Fish

[Morel]

My clown fish has.. well what looks like a white pimple on the side of his mouth. Is this a form of ick? Or something that will go away in a few days?

Most of my experence with fish sickness is freshwater and i've never seen anything like this before =p

Thanks!

I would Google lymphocystis. If that's not it, I'd look into "clownfish disease". HTH,

Update

It IS Lymphocystis after doing a search on marine fish, and it is this nasty little thing.. I'm so angry with myself for not noticing it earlier. But the nodes were on the white part of the poor fish. I also noticed it on one of the damsels in the tank to.

So luckly I have some quick cure here. I'm not sure if it will acually do what it claims to. But it solved all my ick problems in my freshwater tanks. So I have to hope. I'm not letting the little guy die on me! heh

Well, knowing your enemy is half the battle...hopefully the other half goes just as well for you, Morel!
