Is this Ich?

[RussC]

Not like any ich I've seen. But sure it comes in different forms. It looks more like a scratch than a dot or parasite. Its about 1/16th of inch in diameter. Just appeared in last 12 hours. Tank and fish are in great shape. No indication of stress. Fish is eating fine. Just for sake of discussion, owned fish since March 30. Installed a UV light on the tank at same time just to keep this fish.

Looks like another fish took a small chunk... hopefully someone can ID this better than me

Does look like a bit mark....dies that makes sense fir your DT.
Since no change in behavior, of course, do nothing at all but watch him/her carefully for a few days and see what happens to the mark...

Definitely not ich.

The closer I look and investigate the less I feel its a parasite and more like a scratch/injury.

definitely looks like a bite mark. that's what my fingers look like if I stick my hand near my clowns and their anemone

You know, the clowns have been acting a little perculiar. There is a pair and they’ve been really keepingnto themeselves in a particular area of the tank. Not sure what’s up. But they’ve been at it long enough I noticed.

Maybe going to ( or have ) spawned and he came a bit to close.

Mine get real aggressive if a fish or my hand comes near the eggs too

I'm sure it was caused by the female clown, they get large territorial, and vicious
