Hello Everyone! I introduced two clownfish at the same time (originally housed in two separate tanks at the LFS). This one is a snowflake, the other is a plain ocellaris. The snowflake has been hanging out at the top of the tank, swimming sideways since we got it.
Friday, I noticed a spot it's underside. It appears to be raised (white light photo). It has been a victim of mild aggression from the other clownfish but I haven't witnessed anything too serious (the other clown larger and they have not successfully paired yet). There are also 2 yellow-tailed damsels in the tank (27 gallons) and no inverts that could possibly sting it (anemone, etc.).
Last night (Saturday), it appears that the clownfish aggression has resolved. This morning, the spot appears to be larger (blue like photo). He is still swimming sideways but does not appear to be gasping. He is eating just fine and can swim into the tank "normally".
Is it possible this is a bite mark from the other clownfish or one of the damsels? Or am I looking at an possible infection? I am new to the hobby and looking for advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
