white spot in clownfish lips or mouth?

Hi everyone,

I just realized that my clownfish has a white spot in his mouth or... I don't really know what it is. Should I be concerned?


Thank you!

Does the other clown have it... any other white spots or patches?

No

I made a quick water change just in case but my water parameters are good. I dont know what happened.

Could be a scrape, especially if the other guy is ok... don't make any quick adjustments as that could create a problem (potentially).. were your parameters ok before the H2O change?

Is that another white spot on its' cheek or just it's marking? Also have you just added anything new to the tank?

I was due for my water change well today (Thursday), my ammonia was 0, nitrates 0 and nitrite 0 everything was looking well. I haven't checked my salinity.

Is just marking, I added a green clown goby today but he is hiding and playing around the rocks. Maybe the clowns were fighting between each other? I am going to observe their behaviors

They are my babies and I get scared if anything happens to them.

I don’t know much about this, but for some reason when I saw this I was thinking what a fish would look like if it got stung by a bristleworm seeing as what it does to humans. I imagine it looking like that lol

I'm following you and the thread should any changes happen & plenty of others will jump in to help as well. BTW... They are SUPER cute! Can't wait to see pics of the new guy too!

Thank you so much!!! Do you have pictures of your tank?? I would like to see it

here is the Instagram I created for my tank. If you see a banggai cardinal, he is gone I think someone bullied him and he was intimidated.

Poor guy. I have some of my now QT... I had a massive loss when first starting out, made some mistakes and learned from them (thanks to everyone here). I will be posting up the new 180 soon. LOVING YOUR TANK!!!
