Oh yeah for got to mention the very next day my clown woke up like this ! Does not look like ich which i have experienced in the past but is growing on the inner part of the fin....

I'm hoping they are battle scars....

I'm not super keen on wrasse ID, but it looks like a Halichoeres sp.

As for your clown, that looks like Lymphocystis to me, from what I can see in the pic.

 

The body shape says Halichoeres, but the head doesn't so much.

There's so many species of Halichoeres, It'd take me a while to match this one up, if that's what it is. This is not a species I've seen before.

You can play the picture match game here, if you have the time: http://www.fishbase.org/Nomenclatur...ntains&crit2_value=&group=summary&backstep=-2

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Red Breast Wrasse, Cheilinus fasciatus i just saw this wrasse which isn't yours, but is close. Im thinking its part of the Cheilinus.

 

Amazing these guys are in my QT tank which has Bahama Argonite Sand and they burrow into it to hide.... I thought they were dead disappeared....LOL
