White marks on clownfish

My 2 year old clowns are starting to show a bit of a white "cotton like" patch.
First, the larger fish was showing a small dot near the tail...then it got larger as it is in the below pics. The larger is now developing a small dot near it's fin.
The smaller of the fish is now showing a small dot near the tail.

These have been mated pairs for about 1 year laying eggs consistently.

I moved them two months ago to a larger tank.
They have taken back to their hosting of the frogspawn, but they haven't spawned in the new tank yet.

They are very active and eating well. I don't think this is ick...but I have no clue what it could be???

I don't know if it's Brooklynella....seems to be centralized to one specific location and not really "mucous like".

The fish has had this spot now for about 2 weeks...It only seems like it has gotten a tiny bit bigger in circumference since I noticed it a few weeks ago.

??? From the pics, it almost looks like a patch of missing scales?
 
Does your clown jump from one coral to another?I can't tell what the white spots are but could it be fresh sting marks?Your clown does have some hyper-melaninization-scar tissue,dark marks from being stung by corals and anemones.
