hey guys, I noticed that my clown has an area on his right side about the size of a dime that looks like someone rubbed his scales in opposite direction and he has been trying to hide/host in a clump of hair algae instead of his usual spot at surface of tank in the corner where he has been hosting for 3 years, he is still eating fine, normal breathing and I know its hard to diagnose without pics but no abrasions just some scales that are sticking out instead of flat and lighter discoloration in that spot. I have had him for 3 years and I believe he is about 7 years old total, never has shown signs of sickness before. I was also thinking maybe he got hurt on live rock or accidentally too a body shot by puffer when she charges in at meal time. Other tank mates are purple tang and algae blenny. the clown fish is pretty aggressive at times I actually saw him bite the puffers tail and take a bit out of it as he was being territorial in his new spot, not the first time he has done that.
