Hello Everyone, im new here and new to the hobby. I have a year old 10G Tank with pair of precula clowns, CUC and some corals. I noticed my female clownfish has an unusual growth on her left pectoral fin and swollen lips with a small red mark. I'm unsure if its an infection or from a fight. But i was told it might be Uronema and Iam terrified reading about it, Both fish are behaving normally and eating well, water parameters are good as i just did 20% water change. I dont gave quarantine tank as I didn't plan to add anymore fishes but had to add some cuc recently. Please see the vidoe and pics attached and help.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Clownfish rarely get Uronema. I don’t see any signs of that. The clowns could be fighting (they often scrap when you aren’t in the room). It could also be stung by the coral in the video.
