Thanks for the photo. The side view is good, but I also need a head-on view to determine if it is and how far it might be, above the fish's skin layer.

The clump has a similarity to Lymphocystis. However, this is very rare in the Anemonefish family.

Check out some Internet photos of fishes with the condition and see if it resembles it. It is often described a a cauliflower type of growth. If you are sure it isn't this or are unsure, I will need additional photos.
 
It's obviously above the skin, but that is all I can tell from the photos. Have you looked a fishes with a Lymph infection? Does this look the same?
