Is this Cotton Wool Disease?


Recommended Posts

Hi, please help.

I noticed a white lump developed on the lower jaw of my clownfish almost a week ago.

Since then there is no additional development on this clown.

But this clownfish has always been chasing off the smaller clownfish during feeding. Other than that, they get on quite well.

Recently, the smaller clown also started developing white lumps on its fin & body. I suspect this was passed to him by the bigger clown during its "attack".

The 2 clowns are still swimming and feeding actively.

Reading up, I suspect this is Lymphocystitis, or Cotton Wool. But I can't confirm.

Can anyone help provide a positive ID, so that I can take the correct measures. Thank you.

Same happen to my percular clown also, no treatment apply, but must made sure the water para is correct and weekly water change. The fish will heal by itself. For my clown fish, it took about 3weeks fully cure. Hope this help

Thanks Happyreef.

Was doing weekly 20% water change previously. Going to include a 10% WC into the week. Hope they recover soon.

bro hows ur clownfish so far?

Hi Bro,

They are doing fine.

The white lumps on the smaller clownfish are all gone.

The lump on the larger clown is still there, but it has reduced in size.

Both are getting along much better with less "attack" by the larger clown.
