Hey folks,

I had, a few days ago, posted how my smaller clown got killed in a fight:
https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/s...pls-help-me-understand.1149636/#post-14203869

Today, 3 days later, I see this patch on my surviving clown. Is this as a result of the fight? Can I rule out infection as the cause?

Today morning I noticed that he wasn't as enthusiastic with the Hikari Marine S pellets; in fact I didn't see him eat.
Later in the afternoon I tried feeding mysis shrimp and again I didn't see any enthusiasm. Right now in the evening I once again tried feeding him a few pellets and he didn't touch any of them.

What am I to do? Wait it out?

I lost him too.

I need to get to the bottom of this. Is this Brook from the store? Or does the fight from 3 days ago explain it all?
