I watched everything really closely and this is new. My big female has some kind of pink growth on her side. I'm kinda freaking out here. She has gotten a little more "nippy" lately but nothing crazy. Any help here?

This looks like mechanical damage from crashing into rocks or possibly something else has attacked the fish.

Clown fish are known brawlers. Do any other fish have injuries?

None that I've noticed. The male White Has an inflated eye lens as well. Not like popeye...is like a clear bubble over the eye. They're eating VERY well. I've recently increased the amount I feed and added pellets and flake to the daily regiment so I'm hoping that means they aren't sick.

They seem to be having a lovers quarrel and this is not uncommon with maturing fishes. Keep a close watch in case she decides to reject him.

Otherwise, they may be battling with other tank mates?

That would make sense. I haven't seen anything major...just a little nipping on occasion but I suppose it only takes one bite...lol
Thank you for the advice. I'll be on the lookout. Was thinking about some antibiotics...maybe Cipro to stave off any infection.
