Possible injury on clownfish hosting in torch

[rirun]

Hi

I have the male of my clownfish pair host in a torch for about two weeks now. All seems fine with the torch but I noticed today a little pale patch on the clown.

I’m not sure if it’s an injury (possibly stung by the torch) or disease that is the cause of it. The clown is fine except for that.

It does almost look linear like a torch.

Yes that looks like: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/clownfish-hypermelanization.96328/

Very common in clowns that attempt to host LPS.
