I didn't really want to make this thread, since I don't know if I'm overreacting or not, since I've only had these clowns for nine days. I have a 2" orange Ocellaris clown and a 1-1/2" black and white Ocellaris clown. The larger orange clown has been picking on the black one, especially during feeding time.
The smaller black clown, over the last five or six days, has shown small white "smudges" on both sides. They're only in a couple spots and go away after a few days, but come back in different spots. It makes me think it's a result from the orange clown charging and biting the black one. The black clown is acting fine. Swimming around nicely, eating, the whole nine. He just has these smudges. Doesn't look like ich or brooklynella or anything like that. No cysts or anything. And they're more towards his caudal fin.
Do black clowns who get small injuries show those injuries as small white scrapes, perhaps? That's what I think I'm dealing with, but I'm not 100% sure.
I took two quick pictures. It is on both sides just behind the middle white stripe. Unfortunately I need to run out of the house and don't have time to superimpose an arrow or box. Hopefully you can see it:

I can try and get better pictures after work, if need be. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
