This could be an injury, but it appears to be a bacterial infection.
Hard to see for certain on the white part of the fish. Another thing you always want to watch out for with clowns is Brook.
Do you have any antibiotics on hand?

Thanks - it looks a little pinkish on the white part of the lower jaw, close to the mouth.
Initially, I dosed Prazipro as a precaution since I wasn't sure whats going on. On hand I also have Cupramine and Ich-X (I don't use ice-x, someone gave it to me). I'm thinking tomorrow, I should pick up some things... I don't know too much but maybe Kanaplex and Melafix? If this is an infection, is that internal or external? Anything else i should consider (Furan2, Focus, neoplex, sulfaplex, etc........)?

Metroplex and focus are good to have around.
For this infection I would combine Sulfaplex + Kanaplex + Furan-2.
NFG is another great antibiotic to keep on hand. It's not readily available. Has to be ordered from the manufacturer.

Together, or separate (And, in that order?)?
Any issue keeping the other Black Storm who shows no issues, in the tank during treatment?
Alright to add a little garlic to entice eating?
Thanks!

So, this is.... maybe urgent, now?
It seems most fish Antibiotics have been banned in Canada. I could not find any of these items at 3 fish stores including Big Als.
I picked up Melafix Marine since I drove all the way out and didn't want to come home empty handed
What US stores sell Sulfaplex + Kanaplex + Furan-2? I can see if an Ameri-friend can help
Any other suggestions?

Try WWC or Top Shelf Aquatics. The fastest would be Amazon to your friend then to you unless he has a LFS nearby
