weird thing on clownfish

[parrotchute]

So, for a few months, my tomato clown has had this brown spot on his cheek. It almost looks like a small smudge of dirt.

Any ideas?

Not getting bigger? Does it look bumped up, or indented or anything? I have no clue, really.

Fish acne???

If it isnt getting any bigger I wouldnt worry about it. Usually lumps on fish are infections, but if its just a spot my best guess would be a colour pattern like a freckel.

I think it may be scar tissue from a wound that may have occurred during the house move...

 

[steelcity]

maybe a scar from a coral sting?

That's a good idea Steel! I wonder! He is very nosy with all the corals.
