White spot on clownfish!

[Arbados]

My Maroon Clownfish has a white spot on its lip. It is eating very well and has been in the tank for about 5 days. First fish added to tank after cycling. I looked at the disease section and it mentioned mouth fungus, and said that if not treated the fish will die due to not eating. I am not 100% sure it is this because it is eating great and very active. Looks very well also. Help

Could be scar tissue, alot of fish get this from hitting the glass or other objects. Without a pic...I cant tell you for sure...but fungus is fuzzy like growths. If this is a round kind of white elevated area of the fish could just be a "growth" alot of larger fish like grouper...and then FW fish like piranha and oscars have these. Just watch the fish carefully

Hey Black Bullet you were probably right with what the white spot was. It is gone and the clownfish still looks great. One week and counting!!! Yeah!!!

Glad to hear it, but do keep a watch on the system...and do a waterchange

Arbados~ Keep us informed about your clown...I had a domino damsel that had the exact same thing...he passed away yesterday. Still not sure what it was. He was eating great right up to the very end.
