    fish normally create aload of mucus on them when they have some sort of illness. I had a black clownfish that was covered in mucus because he had oodinium. I dont think it happens overnight tho.

    I wish mine swam around like yours Linda. Mine only hangs under the rocks and barely comes out, only at feeding time you can get a glimpse of his full 12" body. After that, c-ya!
