After walking the dog I decided to look at my tank to find that my orange ocellaris has this white line on the side of its head/body. I can't tell if it's a wound or just the mucus layer, but it's active and eating. All water parameters are good and there are no aggressive tank mates unless my emerald crab could've done this? Does anyone have any ideas?

This is an injury which appears to be on the mend. Keep an eye on it for continued healing and not becoming sore.

If it has no other symptoms, this may just be mucus from a minor injury. Just watch for it spreading, rapid breathing, change in appetite, or change in swimming behavior.
