Hi! I bought this damselfish from my LFS yesterday and noticed white spots on him once I got him home. At first I thought it might be injury from being in a tank with other damselfish as I know they can be nippy, but now I am afraid it might be something else. Could anyone give their opinion on what they think this is? Thank you!

This appears to injury marks either from scratches or bites from tank mates.
What other fish do you have in with it and have you noticed any chasing?
 
I haven't noticed any chasing in my tank. I have a pair of storm clownfish and a tailspot blenny in there. I did notice a lot of chasing in the tank at the fish store though so maybe he had the injury from there and i just didn't notice until I got him home.
