I've had my clownfish for 6 years. 2 days ago these marks appeared on it. It's eating normally. Any idea what this white powdery marks on him are?

Did he lose appetite as well?
My Crown had the white powdery on his body few months ago, and he lost appetite for 4 days.
It was not until I introduced Garlic Power into the food to restore his health and appetite.

Try that.

Well. I had to try and do something to help it out. My best guess, it looks like some kind of fungus that's making him slime. I brought a new bottle of Melafix (one I had was expired) and started dosing the tank. I've used it when I first started reefing when some of my fish came down with popeye, fin rot and a few things over a couple of years and it did the job. I hope in a few days, it will be gone.

7 days after dosing Melafix, it seems my Maroon Gold Bar Clown is all fixed up. Did 25% water change and completed a much needed intense clean up of the sump and equipment. I hope it doesn't comeback.
