What is on my Onyx?? Help needed

[topmav1]

I noticed that my Pair of onyx were fighting a lot as well as my black and white clown. I noticed a white spot close to the end of this body but thought it was due to a fight or something. I then noticed 2 days ago he has a small white "thing" protruding from his belly or something. It was on both sides same area but now I think one is gone. Just tried to feed but doesn't seem interested...:sad2ics attached. Help.

Thanks

ALL PARAMS ARE NORMAL. Nothing new added over the last few days. No dramatic changes. Clowns have been more aggressive lately though. Fighting over a frogspawn...

Can you get a better pic?

Trying. He's hiding in the frogspawn. It looks like a little thorn or something sticking out. He's not looking well at all. Can't believe it. Anyone have any ideas???

 

[jaa1456]

do you have any urchins?

almost looks like a fluke but hard to tell, do a ph adjust fw dip for 5 mnutes

Please elaborate on the FW dip. Never done it before. pH adjust?

 

[rickytsui]

mav adjust the fw ph to your tank ph and dip him in there for a few min

Weird my onyx had this the other day, you can see the whitish wart on his cheek. I went out and set up a 5g qt, but when I checked again it was gone! Theres still something small there, maybe my cleaner shrimp got it? Do you have a cleaner?

That is weird. Did he eat and swim around? Mine isn't reacting to food and he's sticking the the Frogspawn all day. No cleaner shrimp just a couple of peppermints.

After getting the pH right which took so long for some reason...I tried to catch him and I couldn't. Tried for 30 mins...
I guess at this point it is what it is. I don't think I'll be able to catch him...

If he's eating I'd leave him alone but watch him closely.

Mine was eating normally, swimming normally etc. Could it be the reaction from the frogspawn? They do sting, so maybe hes just developing a reaction to it.

 

[topmav1]

He's not eating. Doesn't look like he's gonna make it thru the night. Very lethargic looking.

I am very sorry

dose garlic or selcon in their foods and hope they eat it. can warm the temp of the tank up to 80-82 to help immune function.

Tank is normally about 78-80. He's still alive this morning...but I'm not that hopeful. Keep you posted.

Every degree can help. I hope he pulls through. Definitely dose the food additives in mysis shrimp.
