I need some one to please guide me on how to treat my clown, its been 2 days since he developed this white thing on his lateral fin and I have no clue on how to cure it, today it is bigger than yesterday and it looks like is coming out from the inside of the fin, please see the pictures and help me treat this, he can bearly move the fin now, please look at the pictures and help me, i love this fish too much to let it die. All my readings are normal, I did a 25% water change 2 weeks ago, i have fresh carbon on a magnum 350 canister and also a bag on the sump, I run my skimmer 24/7, please help....

Lymphocystis would be my guess. Pristine water, proper diet/tankmates should heal on its own. Adding garlic vitamins will help. watch for secondary infections.

im feeding minced garlic which he loves somehow....plus a variety of meaty foods which he's eating like a pig, thank you for your response, i did a search on that infection and it seems like that's what it is.
