Clownfish eye bulge and spots

Hello all,

Long time lurker here.

Have a almost one year old clown that has developed a bulging eye and some white spots on on his gill plate. Any input would be helpful

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

A single bulging eye like that is almost always caused by some injury. the white around the eye also points to that. One thing with clowns - they sometimes have a "breakdown" with their pair bonds. The other clown may have bitten this one. The fighting might continue, or it might have been a one time thing. You likely will not see any fighting until it gets really bad, because while you are watching the tank, the clowns stop fighting and watch you!
