White Film on Clown?!?!?

[cpenner]

I got two clowns yesterday.

One seems to have disappeared, the other has a white film on him.

Can anyone tell me what the film is? The fish ate like crazy, and seemed to be doing great. Water parameters were good.

Help?!?! :)

White grease paint is common on clowns. :lol: Sorry I couldn't resist, but seriously I would suspect its a form of fungus on them. Did you quarentine these fish before tank introduction? Fresh introduction from the LFS could possibly infect the whole tank. I would suggest removal if possible into a hospital tank and get photo's for a possible treatment suggestion. Also, feeding on introduction day is not usually recommended from all my readings.
