infested clown!!!

[bahhareef]

my clown fish has a white parasite growing on its dorsal fin and gill. The name of the parasite I believe it is has slipped my mind, although I think it looks somewhat like Lymphocytes or something. Anyone know what it is and how to treat it?

i believe it is lymphocystis...anyone deal with this one before?

If its Lymph, its a viral infection, a virus.

Good water quality and a good diet should help and more often then not it clears up by itself

The problem you need to watch out for is when it infects the gills and mouth. troubles breathing or unable to eat can cause problems.
