Clownfish hlle?

[moose11]

Hello all,

I am curious about this disruption in the coloration of the stripes of my clownfish?

he appears healthy, eats swims etc, no itching or anything else.

parameters are
Salinity 1.025
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate ~7
Alk 8.8
Ph 8.2



no display of illness in other fish in tank. No major displays of aggression, but every once in a while the other clown and this one will nip at each other. For the life of me I can’t remember if he’s been like that all along, but for some reason I’m thinking not. The reason I ask is I’m about to leave for a week and want to make sure I don’t have anything to worry about? Or if I do is there something I can do before I go to help him stay safe while I’m gone to treat when I’m back?

I feed pretty heavy handed and the food is PE Calanus and a frozen mysis, that’s saturated in Selcon 2x per day, with fresh live brine and a few flakes thrown in here and there.

While fish looks ok, cant tell if a haze to it color is noticeable. Please repost pics under white lighting for positive id of any abnormalities.

I’ve got the light set to white, that’s as good as I can get it, here’s a video with just white on, on my AI prime

Well I can’t get a video to work, here are some more close ups of my concern

Those enlarged lateral line pores are pretty common on some clownfish, not a cause for concern. They do not develop massive HLLE lesions like some other species do,
