Hello all,
I am new to the saltwater hobby. After months of research and preparation, I found a great deal on a secondhand, established 45 gallon with a 15 gallon sump. It came with 2 bonded clowns, 3 damsels, pajama cardinal, anemone (of which I’m not sure the species; I think a sebae?), and a brittle starfish. I added a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp and a few hermits.
The other day, after finally getting everything put back together and fish in the tank, I noticed the female clown has a strange lump on her cheek. I’m not sure if it was an injury that occurred during transport or something more serious. I haven’t seen her fight with any of the other fish, other than occasionally bossing the male around. She still eats good and is actively swimming. I tried finding any info online but the forums were all over the place, so I didn’t even know where to start. I took the best pictures I could get and will add them to this post. Thank you for any help in advance!
