unsure... Seems like his lip/jaw/chin is swollen. looks bacterial hopefully not parasitic. Id recommend going to a LOCAL fish store NOT a chain fish store. They can help you. Move this clownfish into quarantine right away!

Pics are distant to clearly see much but around jaw may be mucus and I see signs of aggression especially tail from another clown Or different occupant in tank.

If it was bacterial wouldn’t other fish not just clown be affected too?

To a degree normal but can get overly aggressive, cause stress, injury and even death
