My Clownfish has a grey streak!!

[eiichi]

I came home today and Saw that my Clownfish was not as active as normal so when I went over to double check I saw that it has a giant grey streak on its body and seems to not be well. I have had them for only about 3 months now. I have no clue what this is or how concerned I should be. Right now I am freaking out trying to google and research what it would be but as of right now I am at a loss and hope that someone here has an answer.

This looks like excess mucus but to confirm, Give this fish a 5 minute dip in tap water, the same temperature as display tank and see if it clears up. If so, and should, may be development of brooklynella.

Dark clownfish show mucus really clearly. My first thought is that it looks like you have two of these clowns. They well could be biting each other. You may never see it happen, but they still may be squabbling when you are not in the room.
