Clownfish has white pigment on side

[MadTownFess]

My clownfish is approximately 7 months old, and has put on a lot of size the last month or two. With that size came a white spot, its the same color and texture as his "skin"... it's just white where it previously wasn't. Is this normal? Will the color go back? Thoughts?

Is it a raised spot? Does it completely match the surrounding skin (other than color)

Also, any signs scratching, not eating, other odd behaviors? Any recent new additions into the tank?

100% match, not raised at all. It just looks like mis-colored

No scratching, loves to eat, I added a Midas Blenny a month ago, and they did battle is out initially (things have been good for weeks). I actually originally thought it was a battle scar, but looking closer it isnt raised and just seems miscolored, and hasnt really changed in weeks.

Sounds good. Keep and eye on him, watch for changes in the shape,color,size.

Let’s get one more opinion to be safe. @Frtdrmrose7 if he is. Not too busy

With the shape, size, and color of that spot I suspect that could be a genetic mismark growing in.
As long as it’s not raised, fuzzy, sloughing, etc and it looks like the white stripe in front of it I wouldn’t worry too much.

You could always just do a 5 min FW dip to make sure it’s nothing but I think it’s fine.
