White Film on Clown?!?!?

[cpenner]

I got two clowns yesterday.

One seems to have disappeared, the other has a white film on him.

Can anyone tell me what the film is? The fish ate like crazy, and seemed to be doing great. Water parameters were good.

Help?!?!

White grease paint is common on clowns. Sorry I couldn't resist, but seriously I would suspect its a form of fungus on them. Did you quarentine these fish before tank introduction? Fresh introduction from the LFS could possibly infect the whole tank. I would suggest removal if possible into a hospital tank and get photo's for a possible treatment suggestion. Also, feeding on introduction day is not usually recommended from all my readings.
