I found this on my Saddleback Clown this morning. She is still eating and swimming normal. I was wondering if anyone recognizes this as a parasite. It could be trauma but I doubt it.

Thanks,
Tim

Is it upraised from her body at all?

My clown gets gashes ounce and a while, heals in a couple of days. I wonder if thier skin or rather scales are thinner then most?

I'm just glad my clown appears to be doing okay. I just got to get out the suspected bully.

Find the suspected bully and I would be glad to give it good home.
