What’s wrong with clown fish mouth???

[MnFish1]

Yes it was eating when I fed them.

I would watch - carefully.... with a low threshold of separating them. i.e. there is no 'disease/parasite' that should cause a white mouth.

Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on them.

Any idea of what is wrong with its mouth? Just noticed it when feeding.

Clowns clean their area often and also glass surf ( swimming up and down glass) which is often the cause. If fish is not eating, treat with seachem kanaplex. If eating should heal on its own as long as there is not the behavior mentioned continuously

Yes they do glass surf a lot and I’m going to be watching them good now I know there’s an issue.
The other clown has kicked him out of their normal area for now so they are separated.
