I honestly can’t tell what this is. Idk if I’m over reacting, but I was cleaning the glass and saw this on my clown. None of the other fish in the tank have anything like that. And also to note that clown has been being picked on by the other clown in the tank, so idk if those are just marks from the bites. The pictures were taken like 15 min after I cleaned the inside of the glass so Idk if some particles just flew on him. He’s eating, acting, and just behaving normal, so idk what this could be.

How long have you had the fish and when did you last add an animal to the tank?
The pics aren’t quite clear enough for a definitive diagnosis, but I can’t rule out ich. It probably is not “battle scars”, and if it is sand, just give the fish a gentle brush with your hand, and the motion of it avoiding you should cause most of the sand to drop off.
