so i got a designer clown fish nearly three weeks ago and its been acting like a normal fish would its just been in one corner acclimating to its sorroundings. until recently i noticed it has small red markings all along its side and three relatively large red markings on its face, they sort of protrude from his face but not sure if parasite or just bumped into rocks? i would also liek to mention how he has spent a lot more time moving slowly in one corner of the tank after i first noticed the "markings"

all parameters normal
stocked with, frogspawn, hammer coral, two zoa colonies, a tridacna clam, diamond goby, 5 hermit crabs. 5 turbo snails and a camelback shrimp
 
I'm not sure anyone can help without a picture.

Also someone is going to tell you to quarantine all fish so it might as well be me :deadhorse:

Last but not least are you sure its a camelback shrimp. Careful they are known to eat certain coral.
 
thank you for the reply! im going to add a few more photos for you. but i bought it as a pepper mint shrimp because that is what it was labled as but after acclimating it and putting it i the tank it looked rather odd so i did some research and it has the same characteristics and features of a camelback. what do you recommend i ddo?
