New clownfish funk- quick id needed

grandmaester · 08/30/2016, 08:16 PM

Just picked up my first clown from a questionable lfs and it has a bit of white stuff around its mouth and near the gills. Is this ich? He is eating and swimming happily around, no other symptoms except this white stuff. 20160830_190715.jpg

Doesn't look like ich to me, but I don't know what it is. If it came from the LFS like that, take it back and never shop there again. They shouldn't be selling fish like that to anyone.

Could be Lymphocystis.
