Royal Gramma white patches

[afk-47]

Its been a busy few days and I haven't had time to look at my QT tanks. Feeding the tanks has been just a checkmark off the list. Today I had time to watch everyone eat and swim around a bit. I discovered that my royal gramma wasn't eating which is pretty odd because it's always out when it's feeding time. I found her hiding in the of her popular spots, the fake anemone (5yr wanted it in DT and I said ok in QT. Picking my battle on this one) I noticed a few white patches and unsure what it is. Bacterial infection or just scraps?

Started to act like this within the last 3 days. Does like to hide under the pvc pipe in the qt so could be scraps? There are 2 small clowns in the tank as well so could be aggression?
