Are you referring to this?

If you are referring to what looks like the black frilly (spikes) part of the gill, I think that is normal anatomy. Is this a picasso clownfish? I have seen this on some of those before, although could also be some gill parasites making it stick our more than normal. Is it the same on both sides?

Edit: If this is in fact what you're referring to then I will confidently say it is normal, although not easily seen on all clownfish.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I would agree - the gill "spikes" on Amphiprion clownfish are a normal part of their anatomy. This seems to be more visible on true percula versus ocellaris clowns. If there are no other symptoms, I wouldn't worry about it.
