Need advice or ID on naked clownfish

[tassod]

I've got a pair of naked clownfish, they went through TTM and then another 20 days of observation with no issues at all. They have been in the DT now for about 5 weeks now and one of them has something on him that i cannot explain. He still eats and acts normally and does not really seem affected and he's pretty much had this now for 3-4 weeks. Hoping to get some input. Here are some pics, best i could take. The other clown fish seems fine and doesn't have this. If it was brook or velvet, the fish should have died by now or it would have came up in QT?

Pictures are inadequate for diagnosis.

What are they being hosted by? Could it be sting marks? I would imagine they would have relocated by now though...

[edit]:

After watching the video it looks like a gig, completely rules out my theory.

Yes it's a Gig, but I wonder if it's still possible it could be stings based on the type of clowns?

Could it also be marks from aggression between the 2 clowns trying to establish who will be the female?

I see nothing parasite related.

Well when my platinums were hosting various euphyllia in my tank, there were these greyish/silver patches that popped up. (barely visible, had to be at the right angle) I also witnessed my torch sting the inside of the females mouth as she was sucking on a tip. My conclusion was the patches were from being stung by the unnatural hosts, they eventually moved on and never looked back.

If you want to experiment, you could try removing them from that tank and putting them in a QT or fuge and see if the patches go away. It would surprise me if it were the gig though, I'm pretty sure ocellaris are hosted by gigs in the wild.

Since he seems to be fine otherwise, i will let him be. I'm more at ease that at least this doesn't look parasite related. Thanks to all who chimed in.
