White stuff on clownfish's mouths???

[jm23]

I noticed a white coloration on the chin on my male clownfish a week or two ago. It has been eating well, no problems breathing, acting normally, so I thought it just might be injuries sustained from his abusive wife. Tonight however under royal blues only I noticed that the female half also has white coloration around her lips. They both now look as if they dipped their lips in powder sugar. Under normal lighting it is not very noticeable, but under the royal blues only it really pops. Is this something I should be worried about, or just injuries from their more frequent lovers quarrels? Any picture I have tried to take doesn't show up well. Any insight would be appreciated.

sounds like a fungus that probably should be treated specially if its around the mouth eventually can stop them from eating

Yeah I checked that page earlier and nothing seems to match. What is Cotton Mouth and do I need to treat it or will it go away with time? If it is a fungus what should I use? Thanks.
