Looking at these pics, looks like a skin tag from a mild injuryHi all. About an hour ago when I was feeding my clowns I noticed this spot on one of them right at the bottom of the gills where the gills and body meet. Is it something to worry about? It's head also seems to be bumpy/indented on one side as well which I will include pictures of. I just so happen to have vitachem and Kent garlic on the way today so maybe that will help with whatever it is. Tank has had no new additions either for about 4 months.
Please add a couple of pics under white intensity for verification as im looking on a smaller screenHi all.

I would have to agree with this. My clowns mostly live in harmony but every once in a while they'll beef with each other and then stop again. I'm thinking I may have to get rid of one somehow, probably my local lfs, and get another but I've always had the thought they may both be females but at times they seem paired.
Wyze camera is widely used by many reefers
IME, any time you got a fish showing something around its gills, you got to err on the safe side bc that’s where they breath and where things like velvet and flukes can do the most damage. Clownfish fight by locking jaws and nipping at fins. I’ve never seen they go after each other’s gills. As far as injury goes, marine fish don’t injury that easily IME. What’s dark to us isn’t always dark to them. I think you got to monitor it to see if it’s flared up and extra red on the inside, if so, it likely has flukes.
Flukes are contracted by as simple as new live rock or coral. They’re impossible to see in early stages and often affect gills and body
It's been a few months but it was a Tomini tang. Sadly lost to a pH crash that I've been making sure will never happen again. Otherwise nothing else has gone in the tank. Rock, Coral, or otherwise.
