I think my female clownfish may have been bitten by the lawnmower blenny between her white stripes behind the fins. It looks similar to the mouth marks she leaves on the glass. The clown had the tiny mark below her main fin first. Now this showed up. She's eating well. Doesn't appear to be panting. Earlier we had damsel have a peck out of one of her fins. The lawnmower blenny is newer to the tank. We also have a linear blenny who has been stressed but it was because of territory dispute with the Dottyback. At the time he was panting a bit and not eating as much but he's ok now...

See pictures below let me know what you think...

It looks like it could be an injury as you describe— watch for infection (spreading or redness).

If the spots move around over the next couple of days I’d do a freshwater dip in a dark blue bucket and look for sesame seed looking things falling off.

You may want to source NFG and a QT in case of an infection

Still in the same spot. Appears to be getting fainter. I think just an injury. Thanks

That looks quite similar to injuries (interspecies fighting, etc) that I’ve seen in my clowns over the years.
