Is there something wrong with my clownfish? Maybe injury?

It looks like a thread or something....maybe like a piece of dead skin? No slouching mucus, and no dustings or ick on her. All her fins look fine. I'm thinking maybe leftover of an injury I didn't see? Or maybe from her chasing the springeri damsel. I did also just clean the filters and lots of fine sand particals always come flying out of the filters cause of the diamond goby. What do you guys think? Could it be a coral sting from my kenya tree?

Looks like a small nick or injury and may have stemmed from harassment from damsel and even another clown if present. Should heal on its own but keep an eye on it for redness or sore which will require broad spectrum treatment

She's boss fish so she may be handling stuff while I'm not looking. And I did put the new kenya tree corals in. Mostly the springeri damsel beefs with the royal gramma. The clown nips the damsel away if it gets too close. She also seems to break up the fights as well. No 2nd clown. I will keep an eye on it. Thanks!
