Does anyone know what might be going on with this clownfish? There is a white spot above the eye. It looks like it is on top of the fish but I am not sure. As of now, it is the only spot on the fish. Trying to figure out what the next steps might be.

Looks to be a skin tag from a previous injury and as it heals should fall off. Could use a clearer pic to assure not an isopod
 
Man, it is so hard to get a clear picture, ha! This is the best I could do for now. I'm wondering if it is an injury, like a cut above the eye?

I agree, looks like a minor injury. What other fish are in with it? Clownfish often bite each other's faces when they are establishing a pecking order.
