Sick Clownfish (Uronema??)

Hello,

Hoping I can get some advice diagnosing one of my Da Vinci Clowns.

Behaviour wise she seems fine, lethargic from time to time - resting on the sand bed for a few seconds but then back to chasing around the other clown.

She appears to have a small red patch on the front most stripe, after a brisk google search ‘Uronema’ looked to be the closest match but I’m unsure. As well as this, there seems to be a small cotton-like growth on the left pectoral fin. Not sure if they’re related or I’m dealing with two separate issues.

Tank parameters are stable and are as below, it’s been setup for ten months and the clowns have been in for two months.

Salinity: 1.026
Temp: 26°C
pH: 7.9/8.0 (a little low I know, have struggled to raise and maintain from the start)
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: ~5ppm

Any advice is really appreciated, hopefully can figure it out before it’s too late

The cotton-like growth is probably just Lymphocystis: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa181

I can't really see the red patch in your pictures, but if it is uronema it will develop into a red sore.

Either way it was too late. I went away for the weekend, just gotten back and she’s not made it. Thanks for your response anyway.
