Clown Fish Spot on Side. Maybe old scar?

[Staplesofficewar]

Been there since I got it. They (red spotted hawk fish purchased at same time) Have been through TTM for the past two weeks with a transfer every 48 hours. They have had two doses of Prazi pro a week apart. I dose 24 hours before the next TT, and they have been on a diet of metro/focus frozen brineshrimp. Both are eating well. This is normally my go to TTM procedure for new arrivals with good success. Please see spots below on clown. I was considering moving them to DT today since is been 16 days post purchase.

is it red red or same colour as the non-white part

could just be a defect

btw i think i see white on the caudal and back dorsal; maybe just lympho

A small nip mark?

I would say its not red - doesn't look to be irritated. But not as orange as the rest of the body either. yea i noticed that now too. if not lympho then what?

No, the spot, mid body but im now on a larger screen and more represents small nick injury. Skip the metro and use only if necessary and needs to be added precisely by weight which is .5 gm
Hawkfish may play a role with that spot

yea been off metro for a about 4 days. I send all fish through TTM, with Prazi dosed twice and Metro on their food. Safe to add to DT or should I add to my OBv tank for a week or so. Spot seems unchanged in two weeks so dunno

It isn't Lymphocystis. It could just be an old wound/defect. It could also be a bacterial infection from Vibrio. However, with that, the lesion will grow larger over time.
