[coastalcoraline5181]

hi guys, my 6month old female clown has this weird patch on her that i noticed yesterday. shes acting and eating normally, no new tank mates for at least 3 months and water params are good. shes in a 15g nano with her bonded male clown some cuc and mixed corals. i cant seem to figure out what that patch is??? its on one side in between her belly and tail. no patches on the male so far. here’s a youtube link to a video of her:

Video is slightly blurry but from what I believe i see, may be related to a slight injury. Before concluding, please post video with no blue bur bright white light intensity and showing side of fish versus top down view

She is breathing a bit fast, and swimming very stiffly. A fresh video under white light from the side would help.
Also, the white stripe may be showing something I term “clownfish bruising”. Run a search for that here to see some sample photos.
