    I think my clowns are currently fighting off Hole-In-Head disease and was wondering if anyone else knows much about this and if you knew what I need to do to help my poor clowns and if the holes will actually heal over? I have been trying to read about it but most is about cichlids and freshwater fish.

    I am currently treating with General Cure made by API.

    Thanks.

    I would try and provide a stressfree environment, what are your water parameters(salinity, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate)?

    It is likely that the clownfish has damaged its head and may have become infected with bacteria. If you don't already, I would try feeding mostly small amounts of live food like artemia (if available at LFS) and small amounts of thawed frozen artemia, mysis and krill. It might be worth trying to soak its thawed out food with a few drops of garlic supplement to boost immune system and aid digestion before feeding.
