My new clown has a white spot on its right jaw under its mouth. I though it might be flukes and gave it a FW dip but the spot did not fall off. He isn’t eating today so far as well. Also thought it might be Lympho. Any ideas?

It does not (to me) look like a parasite - but rather damage with shipping, etc. You said 'new' - do you mean new yesterday - or new 3 weeks ago? It could also be 'early' lymphocystis' - or something else - because your picture is not completely clear (and its hard to get a good picture). I would wait, watch and see what happens?

He’s new as of yesterday. I got him and another clown together from my LFS. I didn’t notice the blemish yesterday but it might have been unnoticed.
He’s upset now and hiding in a cave. I guess the FW dip took a little out of him.

Maybe @Jay Hemdal wants to weigh in! - To me its an injury to be watched, since especially he/she is new.

It isn’t a fluke and is in an unusual spot for lymphocystis. I think it is likely some minor damage from being netted and transported. As long as it is eating well after it settles down from the FW dip, I would just observe it.
