Well, it's been a bit since I have posted but we are now up an running, and have 2 clowns and a pintail in our 75gal.

Today I noticed our clowns have some white around their mouths. Fish were doing some nipping/fighting late last week and one actually had a slight mouth injury where his mouth wouldn't close. They have since settled and the mouth seems fine.

Now they have this white. They are both acting fine, and eating normally. Tested today, ammonia at zero, nitrates at 15, pH at 8.2. No corals/anemones to sting them. Any ideas?

I would keep feeding and pay attention to how they act. Sounds like could be just wounds from fighting. Feed and just make sure it’s healing. Bacteria could settle in and makes things worse.

Thank you. They are still eating and acting normal today. The pintail in the tank is doing great and not showing any signs of a tank-wide issue. Hoping its just some signs of their nipping last week.
