Coral Beauty White booger-like spots

[clownfish]

hey guys, a couple of days ago I noticed these two booger like white spots on my Coral Beauty top fin...,they look like boogers...they are about .5mm each and next to each other. The guy is swimming and eating like there's not tomorrow...picking at the rock, algae, you name it.

I can't see how this can be a a fungus or anything, I run a UV 24/7. I'm posting a picture, but it's kinda blurry.

The spots do not look the way they do in the picture. The picture came out blurry and makes the spots look like a long single spot, when in fact it's two, little and at the tip of the fin.

Any ideas? Thanks.

My Coral Beauty gets similar now and then. And only Coral Beauty.

After few days they go away.

Some kind of parasite I suspect.

May be cleaner shrimp is taking care of them.

get a cleaner shrimp/wrasse or goby and you'll never see one again, worked for me!

Neon gobies great cleaners...may have been what took care of my CB also.

Had one in my main tank until recently. Disappeared right after moving my Snowflake eel from Nano to main.

Wonder where goby went

oh no thats a shame - i have one in my tank with a small but growing lionfish. Im gonna have to take the lion fish out soon before he gets to the size where my goby becomes a meal!
Should never have put him in, ...............but he's so pretty! karma to ya!
