white spot sticking out on clown fish

Hi

just noticed a white spot sticking out on one of my clowns today. Very worried..

fish still eating well and is active..

took some pictures.. old camera hard to keep focus

please help
Thanks

 

my maroon clown had that in my 10 gallon , once i moved him to my 65 gallon it went away

 

theres only one white spot? does it look sotra like a small cotton ball on its gill? check pictures of Lymphocystis on google and see if that looks like it

 

awesome i guess no updates, hope all is well.

 

sorry just checked back.. still the same one spot. Fish seems fine.. still trying to figure out what it is though.

 

does the white spot look like the same one that I saw on my clown?

It doesn't look like Lymphocystis in your or my picture. Have you noticed the clown rubbing up against anything like rockwork etc itching it's gills??

 

I took a look at your picture Doc

I am almost certain its exactly the same thing.. in fact looks like the same spot too

hopefully its fine..

 

I have seen these on my fish...Tangs, Clowns, Rabbit. They come and go. Never have been a problem. As long as they are acting ok, it will probably pass...Dont over react and start medicating.

 

I purchased a Perc from my LFS yesterday and have a single white dot (smaller than the spot in the OP's pic). I am concerned. He is eating and is VERY active....the fish swims around the tank like a maniac 24/7 and never stops to take a breather. Looks very healthy...just a single tiny white dot on the back of his one side. Any ideas?
