If he was getting beaten up by the clowns it's possible that could be a spot the clowns picked at and has become infected. Best bet would be to get him into qt and start antibiotic treatments and see if it improves. @Maritimer any suggestions?

Not 100% sure but I would agree with @crabs_mcjones that it looks more like an injury than sickness.

Any recommendation for antibiotics??

That’s definitely an infection.

Remove the fish and add to a quarantine (these meds aren’t reef safe and they’re too expensive to dose in an entire DT).

Treat with an acriflavin bath, then treat with the “trifecta” (kanaplex, metroplex, and furan 2) to cover a broad spectrum. Treat for 14 days.

If it’s worsened quickly, it could be gram negative in which case time is not your friend. You should move quickly with any infection.

Good luck, here’s the full write-up:

I think best would be to use an antibiotic cocktail of metro, furan2 and kanaplex for a min 10 days. must be done in qt.
edit: looks like @4FordFamily beat me to the reply so I would follow his advice.
