My 1 inch black oc. Clownfish looks like he has almost what looks like a scar/scratch on his side I’ve never noticed before. I guess it’s possible he scratched himself on a rock. He’s only been in the tank a week and he was the first inhabitant aside from my fire shrimp and clean up crew. He hangs out in the middle water column except when he sleeps near the bottom corner. He is eating both crushed pellets and mysis shrimp. I’m worried about something worse but I can’t get a good picture because he moves too much.

This is likely from darting into rocks and should heal on its own but keep an eye on area for healing and not becoming sore which would warrant treatment using Seachem Neoplex
