My clowns each have a spot about 2/3 of the way back on their body that looks almost as if the skin is "peeling". The spot is on the side of the body. One of the clowns has it on both sides but the other has it only on one side. They are swimming around normally and eating fine. They appear to be yawning every now and then but it could be normal and I'm just now noticing. They have hosted a frogspawn and are not itching on rocks at all. I have had ich in a tank years ago and looks nothing like ich.
Ok, quick history. This tank was setup in mid November and these are the only fish in my tank and have been the ONLY fish in my tank since the start. They are juvenile A. Perculas and only about 1.5" long. They were tank raised and have never been in a tank with other fish than the one they were raised in. I have had them about three weeks now and they fought for the first 4 or 5 days to determine the dominate one which has since stopped.
Other than the clowns I have the following in my tank:
Cleaner Shrimp (1)
Blue Legged Hermits (about 5)
Scarlett hermits (2)
Snails (6)
Limpet (1)
Frogspawn
Open Brain
Candy Cane
Orange Monti Cap
Green Monti Cap
Eagle Eye Zoas
Green Bay Packer Zoas
Pink Zoas
Green Palys
Green Star Polyps
Xenia
Here are some pictures. The first one is a circle on the spot that is effected. The pictures are not that great but for the camera I have its the best I can do.
