Welcome to the forum!
It’s hard to make out perfectly, but it looks similar to a bruising issue that’s being seen recently in clowns. Nobody really knows what causes it or how to treat it, but it doesn’t seem to be fatal.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

It does look like clownfish bruising syndrome. We don’t know the cause. It sometimes is fatal, but not always. Here is a post about it:
