Clownfish marks on skin

[maxs]

I posted about this in the past. However the situation seems to be getting worse. My female clown acts completely fine and eats really well however she is showing these weird markings on her skin. It started with a larger white dot on the black pattern for about a month and it didn’t grow or get any worse. So I I thought it would go away after time. However now I see more weird/ unexplainable marks. My goby has been acting weird for a couple days now and I just feel like I’m going through it lol. Any recommendations will be serious help.

Please post pics using bright white light intensity. no blue for best assessment. Its hard enough to see issues with white fish.

How is the goby acting weird?

the spot on the clownfish does not seem to be anything to worry about - it's been there too long to be a disease, it is probably just an old injury or some scales of a different color.

My goby has been looking stressed and glass surfing the past couple days. I don’t think it correlates to the clownfish however just unsettling for me. I want everything to be happy and thrive in my tank of course. That makes me feel better that you think the clownfish will be fine! Thank you so much for the reply!

Gobies will glass surf and often explore beyond a typical zone when seeking food. What are you feeding it?

Frozen my side and brine for a majority. I’ll sprinkle in some pellets here and there. Feed my tank twice a day

Add meats such as plankton, chopped krill and LRS Fish frenzy

If the goby is acting so stressed that it isn't eating, that's an issue that needs to be looked at further. If it's still eating well, it may be a less serious issue.

Goby is definitely still eating! I guess he just fancy’s his reflection or something .

You could try taping some black paper to the outside of the tank if the goby is surfing just in a specific area. It may not help, but it's easy enough to try.
