Looks like sand but it's hard to be sure. Why is the water so cloudy?

If it's white and fuzzy, like a tiny piece of cotton, it's probably lympho. It's common among clowns. Read up on it a bit. The good thing is that it's not necessarily deadly. If you think it IS lympho, time to put on your best reef keeper hat and keep the best water quality you can and feed with quality foods, possibly vitamin soaked. That's really the only treatment. I've had clowns get it and recover. It can also come and go.

Yah it looks like lint. What is soak in vitamins? where do I get it and what do you feed with? big momma is fresh off the boat and is not eating either. So is her little man.

She takes frozen mysis and spits it out. The goby and chromis is enjoying their buffet.

You can soak the food in Selcon or something similar. Ask at your LFS. I would see what your LFS has in the way of a food like Rods or Larrys. Sort of a good all around quality frozen food. Basically, if he's not taking the mysis, just keep working on finding something he WILL eat. With lympho, their behavior should be normal. If their behavior isn't, that's not a good sign. But her not taking one food offering is not enough to assume that.
