Sick clown or worried Dad?

[CubanB]

Ive had this clown pair for over a month. They've been eating fine and seem happy. I've noticed these two round marks near his head and a white spot towards the face. The female is a bit aggressive towards him. I've looked through the disease thread and I'm sure he has ich and possibly juvenile diabetes. Should he go back in qt?

Also obligatory sorry for the crap picture. Taking photos of clowns is like herding cats. Thanks for any help

Welcome to Reef2Reef, CubanB!

I don't see anything there to indicate ich, though those two dark spots are cause for some concern. (Do you happen to have an anemone or coral in the tank that the clown might have tried to guest in?)

You'll probably need a blood test to confirm juvenile diabetes - though, honestly, it's almost vanishingly rare in captive-bred clownfish.

Need a better picture to confirm ich.

Spots on it's head could be from the female "roughing" him up.

Thanks for the replies. There are no corals or anemone in the tank yet. Its still fairly new. These guys are the first inhabitants.
