Hi everyone, I'm brand new to reefing and am around a month into my first saltwater aquarium. My tank levels are all stable ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 4 ph 8.1 salinity 35ppt. I purchased my first fish (2 clownfish one premium black snowflake and a black misbar) around a week ago and when I got them home I noticed a very small spot on the one, right where the fin meets the body. Now at first I figured it was just maybe from transport a scale or something but, it has gotten bigger and now I've noticed a very small dot on the other clownfish. Both are eating well and acting normal and were freshwater dipped before going into the tank I dont believe its ick it looks more like Lymphocystis but I'm not sure and am wondering if it's best I return the fish to my local fish store and get something else I've heard Lymphocystis is very contagious and I dont want to give it to more fish any advice?

Hi. You might have better luck posting this in the disease forum. That way the disease experts will get eyes on it quicker.
