I've had this clown for approximately a week and a half, came from my very reputable lfs which I work at (in the office, I am new to saltwater). In a tank with only one other clown who shows no symptoms. Both are acting and eating normally. Water was just professionally tested today. I have a hospital tank that can be ready to go tomorrow.
Any help is appreciated!

Pictures are fuzzy but appear to be spots from injury and possible scrapes. Please provide a video with less blue lighting to see if treatment is required

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I agree, this looks like a scrape injury.

Were the two clownfish paired up before you go them? It may be that one is tagging the other. You likely won't see this sort of fighting actually happen, because when you enter the room, they will stop and watch you.
