This is an issue that’s been popping up a lot recently (mostly on occys) - the cause is still not known but it doesn’t appear to be harmful.

I had something like this on my ocelaris about two years ago, and it went away within a day, never to be seen again; maybe it was just a bruise.

Yep - this issue is out there, but no cause that I know of. You only see it on the white portions of clownfish. It is probably elsewhere on the body, but you can only see it on the white areas.
Some of these fish die but it is possible that they died from something else that they had at the same time.
