I noticed my clownfish has this weird white spot on him. It doesnt look like ich to me and he is swimming and eating fine. Anyone know what it could be?

Could be a fungal issue
 
Appears to be Lymphocystis which if often associated with Poor water quality or poor diet or both.
The water can be from your LFS and not necessarily yours but do test and monitor your values(parameters). If youre Using API test kits, you could be getting false test results.
If you are using API, take a good water sample to a trusted pet store that does NOT use API kits and have them test for you to see what results they get and to compare with yours.

For diet, Feed:

Formula flake and frozen
LRS Fish Frenzy
mysis shrimp
spirulina brine shrimp
Hikari Marine cuisine
brine shrimp flakes

Add Garlic extract to foods occasionally for immunity health. Assuming it is lympho, with proper water conditions and diet, it will fall off by itself

Looks like a secondary bacterial infection to me, but it is an odd location to be caused by an injury. Any other fish in with it? How long has it had this and is it growing larger?
