This morning i noticed something strange with my clownfish. Her gill is swollen up with some white. I was looking for an answer on internet , but can't find anything about it. Hope someone can tell me what it is, thanks.

I have true perculas, it looks like his coloration is great...lines arent faded or flaky. Just that obvious white spot near his fin..is it solid or a little transparent...maybe ich...not sure.

i am pretty sure that is not ich. It's much bigger.
What i have noticed these days that this clownfish is getting bigger and bigger then my other clownfish. I think it's changing to female

Looks like lymphocystis. Do some research on the web and you will probably be able to "cure" it. I say cure, because it is a virus that may remain dormant with no sysmptoms.

A few months ago my angelfish had lymphocytes , it was all over the fins and not on the gill. So I am not sure if it's lymp.

If it's on the fins of the angelfish then it's lymp and it will heal by itself in a few months

I may be way off base but could this be a Gill Fluke?

Is the clownfish exhibiting any signs of distress? rapid breathing, sluggishness, loss of appetite, or darting?

:wavehand:
at the start my angelfish had small scare like on his side(he got that when i purchase him), at that time it look like some old scare and it was almoust not visable. When my angel become sick-white spot or velvet ( at the start i thought that it was white spot,but after couple of days i suspecter velvet..) I used copper treatment =Seachem cupramine.After a week velvet/ich was gone, but then I noticed that this small scare looks now like a lump, actually 4 small lumps growing close to each other. Next day lumps become a bit bigger,and the next day this lumps looked like white dot-poss.It look exactly like on your clown,but mine were smaller. Those white dots-poss-spots were gone the next day.Now there is small scare, but it looks like is healing! 2 days after that was gone i noticed another lump- on her gill,close to lips! and again - next day after i noticed new lump , lump becomed white spot-poss. Yesterday it was there, but today hopefully will be gone! aga

Everything is normal . Swimming happy and eat a lot. It's been 3 days now and it's still there. It's not getting bigger or smaller, still the same size .
