So i have a 125 gallon long tank with 40 gallon sump. The tank has been set up 2 months and was cycled with bio spira and dry rock. The clowns are the only fish i have in there. They went through 30 day qt with copper treatment. There are no corals at the moment, i plan to get some when the tank is mature and can handle themIt does look like something is stuck there, abut I think it is a bacterial lesion. I would, however, just watch it for a day to see if it falls off. Meanwhile, some background information about your tank and the fish would be helpful, here is a link to what info helps us:

Good that the clowns went through copper. I would still say wait a day, and then decide to pull it and dose with antibiotics, or let it try to heal on its own. If the lesion grows larger overnight, I would not advise just letting it go, can you set up a treatment tank?
Yes i have one setup. Will keep an eye on it and if gets larger i will pull and treat for bacteria.
Well, oral meds don’t work that fast, so the spot went away on its own. Continuing the meds won’t hurt.
Lol ok. Good to know because i was like this is some good stuff. How much longer to continue the meds then
Most course of antibiotics is 5 to 7 days. Neoplex is 3 doses every 2 days. The anti-protozoan, metronidazole is typically fed twice, a few days apart ... so the two drugs don't match up well for dosing.
