When my current female ocellaris turned from male to female (he was the male in the previous pairing until the female carpet surfed, she is now the egg-laying female in the current pairing) he went through a period of .. they kind of looked like liver spots or something. Just overall splotchiness. There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to them, they were just there. It lasted several months, then one day they started receding. No more spots now, although now when people see her they're like ... WHAT is wrong with her?? Because her lips are so swollen (she looks like she's been stung by bees or something). Again, been that way for months, I can't find any solid info on what could be wrong .... in the meantime she swims, she eats, she lays eggs ... she doesn't appear to be distressed or suffering, but still I wonder what, if anything, I can be doing for her. I just feed mysis soaked in reef vitamins, selcon, and garlic, in the hopes that maybe her immunity can be boosted or something and she gets over it on her own. Chasing her out of that anemone for a hospital or QT treatment would be a nightmare endeavour.
