White spot on my Clowns lip

Bear_ · Feb 3, 2020

Hello

Just wondering if anyone knows what happens to be on the mouth of my clown fish and possibly in the inside as well I cant seem to tell. I put two in together and they seemed to of bonded over time its been about a couple weeks now. I haven't noticed them fight or lock lips although one time they kind of headbutted a bit over dinner but other then that. Just wondering if anyone can identify or give any idea as to what I may be able to do about it.

Edit: It seems to be under the mouth not the lip.

Pictures provided,

Thanks!

Is that the only spot? If so could be an injury. I would watch it closely next day or two and if it starts getting worse you may have to isolate the clown to treat.
Eating?
Other clown doesn’t have anything?

My clowns get white lips when they are getting ready to spawn. They spend a day or so beforehand virgorously cleaning the rock where they lay their eggs, and when they finish they have "chapped lips". Have you noticed them cleaning a rock?

Other clown is 100% but I am now noticing him bug the one that has the mark on his neck so might be from it being aggressive. Yes it is eating fine actually they are all eating well. It seems to act very normal not unusual, they also both tend to do this weird bouncing thing every once in a while to like they are doing the wave I know clowns are weird sometimes but was wondering if it was a mating thing or something.

They definitely arent eating or picking at the rocks but they are eating well and normal come food time.
