Someone help identify whats wrong with my clown?

[Dwankmuller]

Hey guys,

I have a problem with my clown. It has a growth on its bottom lip, its kind of hard to see in the picture, but I tried my best...It has been there for a few weeks, but has just started to grow larger...any chance someone can help me figure out whats wrong? Or maybe someone with an extra tank can help heal him? Let me know..

Is there any chance of a closer picture? Or zoom in on this one?

Is he eating & behaving normally? You might be able to get a closer pic when you feed him?

Should be easy enough to treat whatever it is, I just hope you didn't wait too long to start. I've become a big fan of the PimaFix/MelaFix combo, look it up. I've been using a combination of both whenever I see something on a fish I don't like or have a fish that's damaged. One of them also helps heal, I can never remember which one. Only downside is the smell, smells very potent, like an aquarium hospital.

Just pull all carbon and stop your protein skimmer if you use one.
Safe for reefs and inverts, main reason why I use it.

Good Luck!
