I bought a midnight clownfish from ORA about a week ago, however the fish came with this white-ish blotch on its chin area. It’s not orange like a black clownfish that hasn’t finished turning black, definitely pale in color and irregular in shape. Never seen this before and couldn’t find any answers googling it.

Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Often I see this from glass surfing which is when the fish goes up and down glass chasing its own reflection.. Additional causes with a clown is fighting with another and even cleaning a rock. This is one that will heal on its own however keep an eye on it for healing and not getting red or sore

Thank you! The fish is acting fine in my tank, so hopefully the chin will heal with time. Thanks again.
