White spot on clownfish

[CoRPS]

So both of my clowns have the exact same white spot on the same side of their bodies. It's kind of weird. Any idea what it could be?

I don't think it's ich, kind of looks like they chipped a little piece of their white stripe on a rock or something. It's just odd that they both have it on the exact same spot.

Looks like natural pigmentation to me.

Wasn't like that before though. Just happened within the last day or so.

I don't see anything obvious in your picture and definitely nothing that looks like ich. Not sure about the white triangle which is adjacent to the white collar on the Clown ... doesn't look like a parasite to me and chances of having two in the exact same position would be remote.

It's just weird that, out of the blue, both clowns have this random white thing coming out by their white stripe.

Clowns change color patterns on occasion ... not sure that fits your question or not. Doesn't look like a parasite to me .. but if it moves or grows different than the fish then that would indicate its not natural.
