Re: Clownfish w/beard: fungus? something else?

Thanks, Marc, I looked at the picture, but what your fish had was quite 
well defined.  Mine has something that looks much more like something 
attached to his skin, not a growth of the skin, it's kind of raggedy at 
the edges/bottom like a piece of fuzz stuck on his chin, and is probably 
1/4" by 1/4" (on a 2" long fish).

I've moved him to the q. tank, now looking around at which remedy to try.    
I noticed that some of the rest of his skin was a little discolored in 
patches, which might suggest something when I look around some more.

Thanks again.
