George some of the initial outbreaks have to start somewhere. I have seen
it as a single grain. Or at least that is all that is sometimes noticed. If
the fish do not fight it off it could be more.

Again since it is common that is why I pointed in that direction.

Good luck

Hi,
I have a false percula clownfish that I bought about a week ago. It
appears to be doing fine, and is very active, but just after I bought
it, I
noticed a large white spot on its side. It looks like a large grain of
sugar. I've watched it really close, and it hasn't seemed to grow, and
no
others have appeared, so I didn't know if this was ok? Does anyone know
what this might be? Or if I can try to remove it? Thanks -Chris


Well, since there's only one of them, it can't be white spot disease. It's
probably something akin to lymphocystis, which is harmless. Just keep an
eye on
it.
