RBTA stinging fish?

If my fish were getting stung by my RBTA what would the affected area of the fish look like? Would it look like round circles of discolored/clear spots? For Instance my foxface has several round circles of discolored scales on his side while my flame hawk has several circular spots a, about the same size, on his tail fin that appear clear/lack pigment. These appeared overnight on the hawk. Because of the flow in the tank food tends to gyre around the area of rock the RBTA lives so the fish swim in close proximity of it at feeding time.
 
I never have a fish sting by BTA. They just don't have very strong sting, and are not fish predators.
 
I agree that btas are not strong enough to leave any trace of being stung. My flame angel frequently pushes. My bta out of his way. Never even twitches from the sting
