Should i be worried or is it nothing to be afraid of. Its transparent so it shows on both sides
Dark clownfish show every little bit of mucus very clearly because of the contrast. Is the fish showing any other symptoms, like rapid breathing, not eating, swimming oddly? If not, I would attribute this to a bite from another fish and just watch it closely for now.

Could either be a bite from another fish or brooklynella, watch it closely for heavy breathing or if it starts to hide more.Should i be worried or is it nothing to be afraid of. Its transparent so it shows on both sides

Any changes to the tank? Sometimes mine get transparent patches in the fins when they’re really stressed out, it goes away as they start to feel better.

Im home and it looks the same on the tail and im pretty sure i saw a tiny hole between the tail so im hoping it just got damaged and it will heal, shes eating pellets i just gave her and seem to be acting as she usually does.
