Hello everyone. I'm hoping to get some advice on my clown. Shes a 3 year old Amphiprion ocellaris. She is going downhill faster each day. It started out as 2 small white spots a couple of weeks ago--one on the nostril and one behind the right fin. I've had the clown and its partner for several years and there have been no new additions to the tank in over a year, which rules out ick. I researched white spots and discounted brooklynella since my clown doesn't have the white powder-like appearance. I assumed it must be Lymphocystis even though the two spots don't look fluffy or cotton-y like in pictures of Lymphocystis, and I understand that nothing can really be done except to let it take it's course.
In the last week I have done a couple of preemptive water changes, (60% total) but she seems to be rapidly getting worse. There aren't any new spots, but the spot on the nose has spread inside of the nasal cavity, and in the last few days it has taken over the inside of the left side of her face, pushing the cheek out and popping out the eye. Today it looks like it has come through the cheek and is now an open wound. But the mass of the growth is under the skin, and it appears to be hard, not fluffy or cotton-like. Shes still eating and swimming normally, although spending most of her time hiding in the LR.
Tank is a 30G cube, the other fish are unaffected. (2 chromis, 1 bengi cardinal, peppermint shrimp, and the male clownfish)
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any advice?
Tank chemistry is within normal limits.
Thanks in advance!
