Hi! Came home today to find these two spots on my bicolor Foxface. It looks like a white dot surrounded by a white ring.
Anyone got experience with this?
I have had the Foxface for atleast six months, and its the newest addition of the fishes.
The only thing added is a bubbletip Anemone a week ago.

Thanks for any advice!
 
Very strange...is it possible something bit it? Like a Tang or blenny type mouth?
 
is there any type of common pests like bristle worm,it could have attacked it
is your foxface is normal or behaving weird

Those look like minor injuries to me. They could also be the start of Lymphocystis, but less likely due to the fish's history and the location of the body spot. Too large to be a protozoan issue. Could be flukes, but generally, you do not see those as a distinct spot like that. The ring around them is what is unusual. That is probably a "growth ring" from bacteria. You see this often when culturing bacteria on media in a petri dish. If they continue to grow, you will need to treat the fish with a broad spectrum, gram negative antibiotic, and that would need to be done in a treatment tank.

Thanks for all the replies! I am not sure if it has been bitten, I have had predatory worms in my tank before but the mark on the fin looks almost painted on more then a wound.
It is behaving normally, eating and grazing the rockwork so nothing changed there.
I will keep an eye on it and if it gets worse or his behavior changes I will remove him and try to use some type of medication!
