Looks to be a skin tag from a nick or small injury and should heal on its own , however hard to confirm as there is suspended debris within the tank which makes it a possibility of debris on the skin also
Flukes are rarely if ever seen with naked eye and often signs/symptoms will suggest flukes such as itching/scratching, heavy breathing, loss of appetite, sudden darting , wobbly swimming and hiding as examples

Good video. Overall fish look good. I see a little aggression with the one clown.
maintain and monitor water quality

I agree, this looks like a minor blemish from an injury.

Seems like it was growing or something now u can see it today do you think it’s a stress indicator since I dipped her in freshwater?

Heaters won't burn fish, they would need to cover a good portion of the tube for a longer period to actually get burned from it.

More likely, this is a missing/dislodged scale from scrapping with the other clown. They don't seem to be severely fighting, but they also don't look super-bonded. A little squabbling is typical for this species, and in minor instances, you'll likely never see it, as when you are in the room watching them, they will stop fighting and watch you (grin).
