    Hi, I'm compeltely new at this hobby. I just bought two clownfish, after my tank finished cycling. The water conditions are perfect. One of my clowns' fins is strangely clamped with a weird white growth on it.

    Is it regrowing its fin? I just bought it 2 days ago, and don't remember seeing it before.

    If you need anymore information I would be happy to provide it.

    Here are some pics:

    You could treat with Melafix and a little garlic juice mixed in with their food for a couple of days and see what happens. It should get better, assuming that the problem is bacterial in origin. What I would like to see is a better pic of the fin.
