Anyone ever seen damage to a clown fish from trying to host a branching frogspawn?
I have 3 wounds on the female and a what looks like a torn gill on the male. On the female the wounds look like stuffing being pulled from a cushion.
Both clowns just go nuts a night trying to host a frogspawn (which has retracted.) I have felt the calcified edges of the frogspawn and they are sharp edges and have hooks/points.
Otherwise I have no idea what could cause that kind of damage. I will post pictures tomorrow when the lights come back up. I have them in a QT tank and I am treating for ick as do see what look like small white patches also. So wounded and stressed out at the same time.
