These are cysts or bite marks especially if youve seen them bickering. Also known as carbuncles can have multiple causes as they are often internal and may resolve on their own but often not treatable. You can try treating fish in a separate tank using seachem neoplex and see if they respond to that

Okay thank you I don’t think it’s bite marks because the fish was by it self in the tank

I would ike you to point out what you're looking at. If you're talking about the brown line along the fish - no clue - if you're talking about the multiple lesions on the body - its hard to tell on a fish out of the water - can you be more specific? Carbuncles are normally considered abscesses - I dont see that at all

Please provide some background information on your Tank and Clown. Was he eating? When did you get him and was he QT'd? How was his breathing? Elevated?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

It’s really tough to tell anything from a dead fish out of the water?

Was it alone in the tank, you said no other fish, but was it housed with any invertebrates?
Did you see any symptoms prior to death? Rapid breathing, scratching, not eating?

It was with shrimps and snails and corals and yes it was alone I’m not sure if there’s power leak in my tank maybe that’s what causing it? But inverts and corals are happy which makes no sense to me and I don’t see any ich on it either

No, for sure it wasn’t stray voltage. That said, your tank should be plugged into a gfci for your own safety.

There are some internal diseases that can cause these sorts of abscesses, but those are not really treatable.

To me it looks like the brown line is something draped over the fish - like algae, etc - need to see the fish in the water. Certainly not a micro parasite

OH - I completely misinterpreted what you were saying (feeling stupid)- I assume the black line is a marker on the picture - in the future please put that in your description. In any case difficult to say - out of the water
