Looks like a lesion of some kind. Doyou have a qt tank because this will likely need treatment.

Welcome to the forum!
It’s hard to make out perfectly, but it looks similar to a bruising issue that’s being seen recently in clowns. Nobody really knows what causes it or how to treat it, but it doesn’t seem to be fatal.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

It does look like clownfish bruising syndrome. We don’t know the cause. It sometimes is fatal, but not always. Here is a post about it:

Clownfish bruising/lesion?

All, Over the past two years or so, I've come across dozens of cases on the fish disease forum here of an issue with clownfish that we have not been able to identify. I've never seen it on any clownfish I've had myself, but the issue seems most common on designer clowns, which I don't work...

Sorry to hear. Unfortunately, sometimes this happens and there’s nothing you could have done.
