Large white spot

[Dr. Peter Venkman]

Hey everyone! I need help identifying a large white spot on the fight fin of my female clown. It shows on both sides. I know it's not ich, but I'm not sure what it is. She is swimming fine, eating fine and isn't acting any different. I'm pretty sure it's not Ectoplasmic Residue, but I've been wrong before. Any help is truly appreciated!

Looks like either fin ray damage or lympho which is viral but going with fin ray. Just provide good water quality and diet (not just flakes and pellets) but foods like Brine shrimp, LRS fish frenzy and small plankton

+1 on it probably being fin ray damage. There are not any infectious diseases that look like this, but sometimes, injuries can become infected with bacteria. Just watch that it doesn't grow or spread and that the fish diesn't develop any secondary symptoms like not eating, or breathing fast.
