Please confirm sickness on Clown
 
I know he is probably not going to make it but I would like to confirm what this is on my little Clownfish. Ich, Velvet?? He is in quarantine but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. He seemed to be eating ok. Should I try a freshwater dip? It's not that he is an expensive fish, I just hate to lose any fish.

it looks like lymphocystis virus, a book i have says it is not usally fatal and usally heals its self but fish may waste away and die, it also says treating viral infections is always uncertian,

^ That's exactly what I was thinking.

I would probably leave him be, but keep him in QT. Make sure he's getting lots of quality food (frozen PE Mysis would be my choice) with some Selcon and Garlic added. :)

Google it, there is lots of information.
