Do you have a quarantine set up? I'd get him moved over as soon as possible. Possibly an infection. #reefsquad @HumblefishJust noticed this on my clownfish. Any ideas? It’s looks swollen. She’s eating and acting normal. It’s on the left side. Sorry for the bad pics.

Definitely appears to be bacterial infection. I don't know if you can easily get your hands on metroplex, Kanaplex, and furan-2. But that would be a good start. You could also do a 90 minute bath in acriflavine prior to starting the trio of antibiotics.

As much as that looks like anything, it looks bacterial to me as well.

That said, if the issue is the same as the one in this older post, then yes, you would need to have a treatment tank available in order to dose with antibiotics (you generally do not want to add those directly to your display).
