Maroon Clownfish with white bump on lip

[ddeck93]

I purchased a pair of maroon clowns a week ago and currently have them in QT. This morning I noticed the smaller of the two has a white lump on his lip that wasn't there yesterday. Does anybody know what it is? I am currently treating with copper for preventative purposes.

Could be an injury, it could also be the start of a bacterial infection. If it is the start of an infection you will want to dose Sulfaplex with Kanaplex and Furan 2.

Keep an eye on it if it grows in size or starts to turn red you are dealing with an infection.

Ok I will keep a eye on it and go from there. Thank you
