Hi All,

I just introduced 2 juvenile clownfish as the first fish in my tank, after a day or two I noticed some white spots on the clear portion of one of the clowns fins. I am wondering if this is fin rot or just some light fin damage from the store. Thank you!

Edit:
Tank conditions- Ammonia: 0, Nitrite: .5ppm (still cycling, added fish once ammonia cleared in 24hr), Nitrate: 5-10PPM, Ph: 7.8, Temp: 78F

The fish have been in for ~ 4 days now.

It looks like some light scale damage what I would do is buy a slime/stress coat for them to help it heal up nice make sure it’s safe for marine use!!!
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
