Hard to tell with the blue lights. Try taking one under white lights please it will be much easier to see!

Tried to use Snapseed to lighten it up as best I could. Hopefully this helps you out. I don't think fish get ringworm but that what it looks like.

The fish looks to be in pretty good condition, I can just barely see the spot you are talking about. How long have you had it, and how long since you added any new fish to the tank? What other fish are in with it? I can see a bicolor angel. You know, that mark is almost identical to an open mouth bite mark from another fish. A friend of mine got bit by a bowfin and it left a mark lust like that, but much larger (grin).

I immediately thought bite mark either from a fish or even a larger snail during the night who are attracted to the slime on the fishs' body.
