Help!! Need some help with my clownfish.

Well exactly how the title says I need help.
Well a month ago I saw this marking on his body behind the fin that seems like he gotten injured . I thought maybe the anemone drug him pretty good.
Well today there seems to be some kind of growth of type or injury that I'm not sure what it is. It's white fleshy looking.

He's happy,active and eating a lot which is good but I'm still puzzled on that growth.

Can somebody give me some advice on what it is?
Thanks

Look up symptoms of Brooklynella. I just went thru it. I'm not the one to give advice, but there's plenty of it posted elsewhere. It primarily effects clownfish but fan spread. Good luck

I am inclined to think Lymphytocysis or Mycobacterium. It does not really look much like a external parasite. Hopefully Humblefish or another will be along to address a treatment plan. Good news is that the fish is eating and acting normally.

^^I agree. If this all started a month ago, brook would have killed by now. You can try soaking the fish food in vitamin supplements (Selcon, Zoecon, Vita-chem) to help boost the immune system to deal with this. Or QT and treat with a broad spectrum antibiotic such as Furan-2 and/or Kanaplex.
