I saw a weird white mark on my clownfish mouth and moved him to qt about 2 weeks ago, I added a little bit of copper but nothing has changed. I don’t know if it may be a wound from my other clownfish who beats on him a little bit but he is acting normal.

Hi, welcome to Reef2Reef!

Adding copper below a full dose won’t have any benefit against parasites, you need to be at a full dose for the product you are using.

That said, this looks more like an injury. I would just watch to see that it doesn’t grow larger or if new spots show up. It may take a few weeks to heal. You may have trouble getting the two clowns back together thoug.
