Did my clownfish get ich?

[makingfilms]

Hi 

 

just noticed this pm one largeish bump on my clownfishes chin. She is eating and seems fine but this bump is pretty pronounced.she is the only fish in my tank.  I have had her two plus years and haven’t added anything to the tank except Zoas from a live sale in months. Not sure how she would have gotten it. I don’t have a qt but can set one up tomorrow and get whatever I need. Any help would be awesome.

I don't think it's Ich (which is usually smaller).  Maybe she just scraped it on a rock.  Keep an eye on her.  If you see additional spots, let us know.

Thanks. 

I have taken steps to intervene but I hope it is just a scrape and I don’t have to qt. I crossed posted on reef2 reef and got some feedback. 

According to humblefish on reef2reef I should qt and use metroplex and kanaplex. I ordered these tonight but won’t get them til Saturday. Tomorrow will pick up a cheap qt  tank at petco.  I have a 3 gallon mixing container I may shift to a qt if that is big enough for treatment but I am worried it may be too small. I have some seeded matrix In my tank that I can use to establish my qt but would need to reseed some for my main tank 

 

i am am slightly worried that if I do qt her she may freak out with the move and be worse off so while I wait for meds I hope she recovers.

I wouldn't treat with meds unless it gets worse.  What does humblefish think it is?

My clowns  get little white hard bumps from time to time, it lasts for a day or so and then gone.

 

I have never treated besides soaking their food in fresh garlic.
