Hi fellas, looking for some help. Found one of my clownfish with a red mark hanging from her side. Looks like some one took a bite. Pic below

Any advice on how to fix her? My wife and I are attached to the clown pair as they're the fist fish we bought 5 years ago when we got into the hobby [emoji26]

I would continue monitoring it for now. Make sure it doesn't keep expanding like it is getting infected.
 
One thing you could do is to give the fish a 90 minute bath in acriflavine or a 30 minute bath in methalyne blue to try to help prevent infection.

If you don't have a small QT running I would set one up just in case. The redness makes me a bit nervous.

As @Brew12 said. If it worsens you will want to treat with antibiotics.
