That’s really rare - I’ve never seen that in a clownfish, only more sedentary fish like scorpionfish, and then only a couple of times.

Is it possible that a bit of algae got stuck to the damaged spine and isn’t actually growing there?

Lol we are the morons not the Maroons. We stick ocean creatures in a clear tiny box and wonder why they get sick.
