Default Beat up clown -- Ick?

Thanks for the help with my previous post.

My Clown is doing better, he ate for the first time today--which I hope is a good sign. However, he is devloping concentrated white spots on his fins where they were bitten off. I will try and post a pic, but does anyone have an idea what this may be and how to treat it without hurting the other fish and inverts in my tank?

THanks!

Check the fungal disease pics in the disease treatment sticky. It is quite possible that it has a bacterial infection from the whoopin. I am assuming it is not ich since it is only where the damages are. I would do a water change, then treat with MelaFix (or Maracyn) in QT. Add vitamin and garlic supplements if you haven't already.
