I've got my Percular Clown ? (that's what it was sold as, atleast.)



That photo shows nothing in the way of my problem. I've got two SLR film cameras my late father left me, but I've also got no idea on how to use them. He's got macro lenses and tripods and light meters and such, but I had to try my best on a cheap digital compact. Unfortunately the side I got wasn't the side the problem was on... My clown seems as if it's had a run-in with rock or substrate. It looks like a graze below it's bottom lip, except this graze on it's face is raised quite noticably and blood red... It also has a small white *thing* on it's face in the same position as the 'graze' is, but on it's top lip and much smaller, totally white. I noticed this *thing* some weeks ago (about two) and it's very slowly been getting larger, and covering more area.

Anyone with any clues as to what this could be ? I've googled for quite some time, but I'm getting no leads as to what it might be. Googling for 'red thing on fishes face' or 'red growth on fishes face' don't come up with much that is of much use. I don't consider myself to be incompetent as far as google goes, and finding my own way... but this one has me stumped. Any help would be appreciated. 'Nemo' has stuck with me for this long (2 months) and I'd hate to hurt/kill the poor little 'it'. The fish is otherwise in great shape, eating well and breathing like it's always done.

Cheers
