What is on my O Clown?

I have 2 O Clown in QT. They have been there since 6/29, so, almost 4 weeks. They were bought from the LFS, tank/captive bred, in a tank with only the same species. They ate well at the LFS(I watched) and they have been very active and eating well in QT. The Larger of the 2 will eat from the tip of my finger if I put food on it and stick it in the tank(clean hands of course). Anyway, yesterday when I got home I noticed a white spot on the back top fin of the larger clown. It's not small enough to be Ich, at least based on the pics I've seen. I can't get a pic b/c the clown is too fast. But, the activeness and eating habits haven't changed. What could it be, and what should I do?

 

I forgot something about the spot location. It is on the very top of that fin. On the part of the fin that is, well, clear. I can only see the spot when she swims by the filter b/c the spot shows up in contrast to the black plastic of the filter. The smaller clown has no spots and the larger only has the one spot. Like I said above, it's much bigger than the typical salt grain size of Ich.

 

its either ich or fungus. but a pic would tell a 1000 words

 

I tried to get some pics last night, but she just will not be still long enough. I will try again tonight, but I just can't see it happening.

 

Ok. I tried to get a pic, but couldn't. So, I got a short video instead. It looks like you can see it a little. Especially when she's aound the HOB filter. There's also another spot today. The spots seem smaller today and the little one has a spot. They are still eating well and active. No flashing either. I forgot to mention this earlier. Last night I did a 2 gallon WC. It's a 10 gallon QT.

 

Please google Lymphocytosis and see if it looks similar.

I would feed garlic and HUFA enriched foods. Get your self some Selcon if you can.

It could be a parasite, bacterial.....viral. I just can not see it in the images.

As long as the fish is eating, that is a great sign. Once they stop eating and breathing heavy at the surface you should really worry.

Also look at Melafix.

 

Thanx.

Google gives me images of humans with Lymphocytosis. I'll keep looking. The pellets I've been feeding have garlic in them. I just happened to have a bottle of Melafix, so I dosed the QT with it. I'll keep you posted.

EDIT: I did see some pics through Google that look similar to what my clowns have.

 

Here is a link with some images, maybe that will help.

Marine Fish Diseases and Parasites

 

From that link it looks like Lymphocyctis virus.

 

After almost 2 days of Melafix, the larger is still eating good and active. The smaller clown is not as active but still seems to be eating. There is another spot or 2 on each of them. Any suggestions. I know my water parameters are off but I'm not home so I can't check right now. Should I do a complete WC?
