White translucent spot on Coral Beauty.

Noticed this white translucent spot on my Coral Beauty. Hard to get a picture as it only shows up at certain angles. Is this something to worry about. Active in the tank, eats well. All other fish seem perfectly normal too.

Look like post injury and should heal on its own
Just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn’t develop into anything bacterial

Agree with @vetteguy53081 - the signs of bacterial infection would be filaments (looking like fungus) from the 'wound' - or redness - or especially redness spreading to the fins (which would suggest a systemic infection) - if its getting ANY worse - (bigger, etc) - I would treat in a hospital tank - with a broad spectrum antibiotic. Hope this helps

+1, looks like minor damage to a scale.
