Young clownfish , Pale Face!

[Ryan Rioux]

I'm not sure if it's just my anxiety , but I keep inspecting one of the young clowns I have in my tank , and his face looks whitish around his lips. It looks like he scraped it on rock? The other looks like it has the same but not bad compared to him. Maybe scars from when they were fighting ? I tried getting the best pictures possible.

Look ok to me.

Hope he's okay. Pictures don't show everything . It kind of looks like a small white growth . And he is next to the overflow a lot . Doing this.... While the other is swimming around the bottom of rocks . He's like fluttering /floating next to overflow.

They host the opposite side of overflow at night .

Mine exhibit that type of behavior during the evening moonlight phase or during the overnight darkness phase.

I finally found an article with photos similar to what the smaller clown looks like he has!!!!! I'm going to attatch a photo of what it looks like, my clown doesn't seem to be as bad though. He seems to be intimidated by the other clown that's slightly bigger , and also sometimes he will challenge the bigger one!

That's a picture of a different fish with similar to what the clown I have has... He's also not as boldly colored as the larger one.

I was even debating splitting them up permanently

Did you ever figure out what this was? My clownfish has the same thing. Did yours end up alright?
