I wasn't able to really tell either way from the pictures, so it's up to you. If it would make you feel better knowing what it is then do the dip. It's not going to hurt the clown at all and you'd know for sure. Either way I dont think this is a dire situation at all, so you've got the leeway to just watch him and see. If they are mild stings from a coral, they will heal and if the clown chooses to host that coral, it will build up a resistance to the sting.

Awesome thank you. I think I will try the wait and see for the next day and go from there. Unless she seems willing to be caught while doing my wc, then I'll go ahead and do the dip then

That looks like a healthy clownfish from here and I wouldn't do anything. But what do I know?

Thank you! Ok so it seems this is pretty much the unanimous diagnosis. Which is a big relief! Now I really am going to set up a camera so I can catch her in a coral (or better yet the anemone). Thank you everyone
