Yellow Wrasse Spots HELP

[kpoj9]

my yellow wrasse has been showing some discoloration, splotches of white over the last 2 days. Not sure if this is from rubbing on rocks or disease???

Looks like scraping/scrape injury. Is this fish rubbing itself against sharp rock or objects in a twitching manner ?
How is breathing rate - Normal or labored?
Any aggression/chasing you've noticed ?

He looks perfectly normal. Breathing normal. No shaking, no rubbing. Eating great.

Haven’t seen any aggression in the tank

What other fish are in tank with it?
Does fish hide in a certain crevice where it is scraping itself to get in or out ?

1 blue hippo
1 jaw fish
2 small clowns

Clowns are my suspect. A sure way to find if so is to place your phone on video mode for about 40 mins and drop a little food and walk away- YOU MUST WALK AWAY
Come back and review video and you should see your culprit. Aggressors usually bully others when food is present

I will try that…

BTW - All of my fish were purchased at TSM. hopefully it’s not a disease / infection Issue.

How long has it been n your tank? The tail sure looks like some other fish has been biting it. You may never see it happen, so you look for evidence like this.

I’ve had these fish together for awhile. The last fish I added was the hippo and jaw.
