White stuff on clowns mouth.

[Steve_Skullsplitter0]

Just noticed ...my clown has white mucus coming out mouth. What is it and what treatment. If i can get her out of tank.

could be a chance that ...its apiece of dead shrimp that i suspect my neon dottyback killed. It seems sruck in her mouth.

A bit hard to see, maybe if you can take a pic without the blue lights on?

If there’s mucus or skin peeling then I’d suspect brooklynella or bacterial. If just white around the mouth could be just from cleaning its nesting ground.

From the picture it looks like it's just the exoskeleton, maybe it just molted and it's hiding somewhere? Just my observation.
