Clown Fish emergency

[Chris Romani]

Help! I have a new pair of maroon clownfish I have owned for about 6 weeks. The larger female began showing some issues today. In the picture it almost looks like white bumps. I have not seen this before, it dose not look like ich to me. The other clownfish dose not show symptoms. They are not aggressive towards each other. They were bought at same time and not QT as they were put in an established tank by themselves with an anemone. They are both eating still. I appreciate any and all advice to treat this. Thanks!

This looks like lymphocystis which is a condition and not disease. Often its associated with water quality issue as simple as elevated ammonia or nitrate and can be that of water from LFS and not yours. Assure to provide Good water quality monitored by a reliable test kit and feed nutritious food with fats such as LRS nano frenzy and mysis shrimp.

Thanks for that input! Is this something that if not corrected could impact the other clown's health? Is this life threatening?

Based on what @vetteguy53081 said I would make sure all water is good and perfect otherwise it might go bad for your maroon. I have a blue tang that came from horrible conditions and stuff and he helped me bring him around and he looks amazing now, and @vetteguy53081 usually is spot on for what the fish has and what to do to treat

Its non-contagious and with good water quality and diet will dissipate on its own
