Unhappy red fuzzy on lip of clown fish

I'm not sure what it is. but it looks like a red fuzzy thing
on his bottom lip. and it's not going away, and it seems
to be getting bigger. He still eats with the other fish but
I'm concerned and am not sure what it is or how to treat it.

any ideas? Hope that someone knows what's on my fish.

[welcome]

It is probably a bacterial infection. How are your water parameters? Often infections will go away after a large water change. If it is not getting better, you should move it to a quarantine/treatment tank and treat with antibiotics like Saltwater Maracyn-Two.

thanks

thanks for the advice....
Hopefully I'll be able to do a large
waterchange this weekend and I'll
be extra vigilant about my water quality.
