    My clown looks like she has some fungus on her face, and it's been there for a few days. Today I bought Pimafix and just added it to the tank. Now the skimmer is going crazy and making tons of foam. It looks like it's going to overflow or something (as well as the skimmer's chamber in the sump)! Do I leave it alone, or what?

    Thank you!!

    Should I just leave the skimmer off for awhile? I'll get my filter media out too.

    Well, I can't find my camera - it's a white area in between her mouth and eye, it is raised and looks kind of fuzzy. It has uneven borders.
