My precious little clownfish has cysts!
She is eating, sleeping etc, but she has two cysts (bigger than ich and NOT white), they almost look like an underground pimple that is coming to a head. I tried to take pic, but she did not cooperate.

Oh boy! This is not good. When I got her home last Sunday, she had a ouchy (open wound) where one of her pectorals meets the skin. Well the guy said he thought she would be ok and give it a day. Well the wound has continued to heal, but I think she got some kind of secondary infection. Today the cysts are burst and she has open sores and her tail is rotting! I know.....that sounds bad. So much for the dream come true!!

you may have cirolandid isopods in your tank. which is what is in the 2nd photo. Some of them are alot smaller then what is photoed. Are these open wounds where you have seen the cysts be at?
lymphocystis usually cures itself. they cysts will just fall off.

First open wound, healing up, then cysts closed, then burst. But what about the tail? Not falling apart like fin rot, but looks AWFUL!
