Weird bump on clown!

[OCDP]

I can try to raise my temp... although I don't know if that's the best idea given that this may not be what they have. There is only one bump, which is a darker colour... and on the fins it's almost like a peachy colour.. very hard for me to describe!

I guess that's one option is to try and raise the temp.. I don't want to lose my clown, she's my fav!

Upon further observation.. I'd say the bump somewhat resembles a bubble .. if that helps any.

[OCDP]

No one else with any ideas? The bubble is still there, and it appears that something similar in appearance and shape is forming on the first white band near the gills now I hope she's not sick or anything.... but like I said, she eats like a pig, acts fine... she's acting like her normal old self

I'm actually finding something similar on one of my clowns I will try to take a picture tonight myself.

Scott,

The bumps on my fish looked a bit like bubbles, too. It ate and swam around normally and did not appear to be sick, either.

Have you raised the temp in your tank?

Here is ATJ's section on fish diseases. It does not mention Lymphocystis, however...

See if this page here lists what your fish may have:

Bev,

I have indeed raised the tank temp. But I am a little weary in doing so.... as I have lots of SPS in the tank, so I didn't raise it by much. I think if I do decide to continute to increase the temp. then I will do it slow.. as I don't want to shock anything. Thanks for that link as well

Greg,

I am curious to see a picture of your clown now (good luck taking a shot ) If you can, that would be great (if the bumps are similar of course) ..

Unfortunately none of the diseases on that page look similar to what the clownfish has. Thanks for the link though!
