|  New addition & problems with it
Just added 2 true percs to my tank about 3 days ago. I noticed today that the female(the larger of the two) looks like it has some damage. I dont have any pics to help but it look like there was a white-ish possibly brown growth on the sides of her. I have a cleaner shrimp- do clowns sit still long enough for the cleaner to clean them. Is this common in percs. By the way they were wild caught- don't know if that makes a difference. Please help

And a ton of sandsifting snails. Leather toadstool, frogspawn, 2 pulsing(not really they quit pulsing) xenia, flavia, anthelia, a colt, a goniopora and a rock full of zoas. |

Please help Guru's- I know I wasn't very specific but I have never had a fish with any type of disease so I am not familiar with any of them. Please help, I don't want to lose my clowns. | |

prob a bit of white spot due to stress of being removed from the vast ocean and forced to live in a tiny box.
Dont worry, clowns are resiliant, it should be fine in a few days _________ You will never know whats in my tank as i can only type 15 words  |

You could try a QT if you have one to try to reduce the stress added by the other fish in the tank.
