Anything wrong with this clown?

[laezur]

My clown has started to develop some brownish spots under her fin, just on one side, but on her body. They’re really hard to see, and I haven’t noticed them before but could have been there a while - I’m unsure.

I have I closed the best pictures I could take with her moving around and she was feeding at the time, and also a video to try and help identify.

Had this clown about 6 months

Any "stinging" corals in the tank? Torches, etc.

To me - the pictures can't be interpreted - It would help if you did a picture under white light - and also answer the questions in my signature - as to how to ask a question - I hope he/she is ok

This is an interesting question - Normally - if a coral 'stings' a clown - in my experience - it does not cause a lesion

Hi,

Only an anemone that her and husband share, and some pesky aiptasia I'm battling lol.

I will try and get some further images under white lights, they are quite difficult to see.

Edit: It's proving extremely difficult to get a picture of, even with white lights on. It's so faint. I'm leaning towards simple hyper menlanization than anything else at this point, but I'm known for being paranoid!

Maybe they had a minor disagreement?

Ouch! Probably not the Nem, unless it's aggressively hosting, but aiptasia can be a problem too.

Oh they have spats all the time lol, like an old married couple. I've seen him have fin scars and stuff, usually heal pretty quickly but never seen her banged up in any way. I think I'm over-worrying. After googling, it's probably just hyper menalinization of some sort, maybe from them fighting or a sting.

She's happy, she's eating, no behaviour changes so I'll hold off on worrying for now.

I go with over worrying.
Not a new fish, happy, eating and no behavior changes.

generally, anemone stings are on lower half also of a given fish, but with pics under white lighting , it will clarify what this is as it appears under current light to be lesions often associated with Brook, but a mere guess due to again, the lighting

Brook would be highly unlikely. I underwent an 8 week fallow period, followed by a 3 week quarantine period for these clowns, 11 weeks in total no fish in the system - and I've added nothing new.

As stated, merely a guess as this is what we see:

I know lol don't worry, the pictures are absolutely rubbish. Taking pictures of fast moving objects behind glass and rocks proves to be difficult

+1 on hyper melanization from stings almost always being on the lower half of the fish, not the top like this.

@vetteguy53081

do any of these help even slightly? These are under white lights but really struggling, will go back and try again if not

Anyone else?
