Clownfish odd marks

[nkkm]

Hi all

I got two clownfish this afternoon, established from a fellow reefer. I acclimated them and they seemed good in the tank. I did notice them start to get interested in a torch almost immediately but didn’t not see them in the torch.

A couple of hours later I went to check on them and the male was covered in white marks. He appears to just be sleeping and swimming normally. I don’t see any marks on the female.

Could this have been stings from the torch or is this disease (start of brook or Lympho) from stress of the move.

These pictures were taken within minutes of each other. You can see a big white patch at the back which had fallen off by the second photo.

Thanks in advance

Torch Corals sting? Ouch, didn’t know that because I’m considering them as part of my LPS contingent. Do the sting wounds usually heal on their own?

Definitely wouldn't have missed that. Was shocked when I went to check on them.

Lights are still off but the clown looks back to normal this morning. Can't say I've ever seen anything like that before. Thanks for helping put my mind at ease
