Odd spots on Clownfish

[tmhill04]

I observed several discolored patches on one of my clowns with white spots in the center of each patch. The white spots appear raised. It doesn’t look like ich so I am trying to determine what this is. This is my male and he does get roughed up by the female occasionally (the reason for his damaged fins right now).

He is behaving normally and eating well. I just noticed the spots this evening as they were not present earlier today during feeding.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Sorry of the slow response, and sorry for your trouble!

I'd suggest at a minimum posting the info suggested in the quote below, and if possible reading through the link below that (particularly the "Aquarium Parameters," "Water quality," and "In-depth Information" sections) to figure out what info you can share here with the #fishmedic to get the best diagnosis and treatment advice possible:

Please provide as much of the following as you are able:

• Brief description of the issue you are observing and answers to the following questions:
  • How long have you had the fish with the condition?
  • Did you quarantine with medication when you first acquired the fish? (If Yes, which medication?)
• Current water quality measurements
• Clear photos of the issue taken using WHITE light and/or a short video of any behaviors (post in your response or on YouTube).

If you can help us by providing as much of the above info as possible, it will make diagnosing and providing recommendations for treatment MUCH easier!

It doesn’t really look like ich to me either.
Lymphocytosis is possible, but I’d usually expect to see that on the fins first.
My guess is that that is a bacterial infection that stemmed from an injury. Your two choices are to leave it be and see if it heals on its own or to pull and treat with an antibiotic like kanaplex. Personally, I’d give it a day or two to see how it develops, but be ready to treat if it doesn’t get any better.
