Any ideas what this is on her face? They don't appear to be getting any worse or spreading, been over two months I've had the pair. The male looks perfect. Thanks!

Could be flukes but hard to tell in the photo. Maybe brook but her fins don't look clamped at all. I would fw dip with same temp same pH water that is oxygenated. Five-ten minutes.
 
Appreciate the input. I want to mention both clownfish are acting normal, not flashing, no slime coating, eyes are clear, healthy appetite, not breathing heavy, etc. I have already given her a FW dip and did not notice any change. Should I do another? Anyone else have any comments? Would a higher quality image help?
 
Has it been there the full 2 months?

Sometimes my clown pair have spots, it's always been lymphocystis and goes away naturally. Make sure your water is very clean and feed a variety of nutritious foods. I wouldn't bother with dips for that, I believe it would only stress the fish.
 
I've had the pair for two full months. I did not notice it right away in the QT tank as I keep the area rather dim lit. These are really small and hard to see unless the light is just right and at the right angle. Seems like blue light is best to make it visible. I can't tell you how many hours I spent trying to get a good shot of it.

If anything, I think it's looking better, not worse. I was more concerned with understanding what this is exactly since my treatments with prazipro and FW dip (done two now) before introduction to QT and once I noticed these spots did not clear it up.

Thanks for the feedback.
