Can someone help identify that pale spot down low towards the back fin? This little guy has definitely been treated as the smaller male as our two clowns have aged. The “female” is nice for a week, then nasty for a week, etc.
Just noticed this spot and I’m wondering if it’s just a touch of damage or if he’s in danger here.

Yeah looks like a nip or scrape. Clown drama lol!

Do you agree with Billy that it’s infected? The little white spot is our main concern

That little clown definitely looks like he gets bossed around. I agree with billy, it could be from nipping since clown pairs can get feisty in smaller tanks. Just keep an eye on that spot and watch for any changes or fuzzy patches. Nano life keeps us on our toes!

Its back fin certainly looks nipped up. On the underside that whitish color may be a bacterial or fungal infection. Probably would be best to split up and treat with something like Seachem MetroPlex Or could just split up and observe if the fish heals on its own when not being harassed
In what way do we split up? This is our only tank
If only tank I guess just keep an eye on if that spot gets worse. Could put something like an egg crate to divide your tank as a temporary solution. I did that one for a QT tank. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/black-egg-crate-for-aquariums-2-x-2-square.html
Thank you very much for the advice
