For what its worth, my clownfish had the same issue. Come to find out, my testing method for salinity was off and I was at 1.030 for a while. I slowly brought it down to 1.025 and it seems to be getting better on it's own.

If the fish is still eating and otherwise acting normal, I would just observe for now. This is assuming no new fish have been added recently.
