Hi all,
I just got two ocellaris clownfish and one has the shape and stripe pattern of an ocellaris, but the coloration of a clarkii. Since I don't know what species this is, or if it's just a weird ocellaris I thought I'd ask a question about one of the stripes on it. The face stripe has a spot behind each eye where it looks like the white has flaked off. Nothing major, but I don't know if he got bitten or if it was a parasite. He acts fine and happy and these flaked off looking spots are pretty symmetrical. If they are some sort of scarring, will they go away over time? He came home from the lfs this way, so I knew about it when I bought him, I just wanted to know what to expect, if it was permanent or would heal over time. Thanks for any advice.
