Is my clown sick?

[Loriw7]

Can someone tell me what this lighter spot on my clown’s top fin is? Is he ok? He’s eating and swimming fine and I think this spot just appeared this afternoon. It’s the clown on top. The second picture is to show his other side where there is no spot.

Might just be a bruise, possibly got in a tussle with the other clown. It isn’t any of the typical communicable diseases.

I would just watch it to ensure it doesn’t grow larger or that the fish doesn’t develop other symptoms.
