Ulcer/growth On Oscellaris
Hi guys,
Just this morning I've noticed a growth on my clown's lip. Looks like an ulcer or a pimple. I've tried my best to get some pics and this is all I could come up with.
It doesn't look very cottony, just like a solid lump. I'm not sure if it's fungal or maybe brook? He's a tank bred clown with a mate who looks like it could be starting one of these lumps on the side of it's body, but not 100%.
They're only a few days old and I've had them in my 'quarantine' tank with some corals, a scooter and a bi colour blenny.
I'm wondering what option might be best to go with:
Keep the fish in there and just do water changes and cross my fingers
Separate the fish into a smaller 30litre tank I have available and treat with melafix or similar and see if that helps?
Perhaps dip the fish in something and return to either this tank or another one for them
Any help you guys could offer would be great! I'm a little out of my depth with this and trying to work out exactly what they've got is proving difficult!
Also another quick question, is it safe to move some of the corals out of this tank into my main do you reckon? Or should I leave everything.
Thanks everyone! :)
