White mark on clown ? HELP

[fozzer]

So I posted about a week ago my clown had a little dot on the back end and now it’s slightly bigger but has a gap in the middle with a little white but around , you can see better on the pictures , my parameters are all great , Salinity is fine , I think it has got a little injury and is healing but I hope somone can give me a little advice before I start dosing anything to do with white spot etc .... thanks guys

That does look like a secondary bacterial infection resulting from some injury. I normally don’t suggest treatment for these EXCEPT that you mentioned it is growing. What can happen is the bacteria takes over the fish’s natural defenses, and it starts to invade healthy tissue.
One option is to just keep observing for now. The other would be to move it to a treatment tank and dose with a broad spectrum gram negative antibiotic....
