An angelfish at my lfs has a suspicious injury (white gash right beneath the dorsal fin) across its back. However, I am unsure if this is uronema or not. Can anyone diagnose?
and yes, I know about the pop eye. As far as I know there is no specific pathogen for it.

Bonus, what's up with these clowns(In the same lfs, different tank)? One of them has subtle white spots on its side, I'm not sure if that is a disease or caused by the anemone. Doubt the photo is good enough but worth a shot.

If I get a positive diagnosis for any of these fish I'm going to cross any other fish in the same tank as them off my list. There's a cool hawk in the angelfish tank that I wanted but I don't want to bring infections in.

yeah, sorry. All of my lfs' lights is at least half blue I think. I'll circle the spots.

Unfortunately the blue hue from lights is flushing the image out. Do I see the angel with cloudy eyes?

yeah, it's got pop - eye. Unsure if it's related or not. If it is related, then both these injuries can be the result of fighting. They were kept with a small kole tang.

Eye injury if its one eye likely and should be treated in separate tank with Maracyn - Not Maracyn oxy or maracyn 2 OR seachem Kanaplex

It looks like it is not uronema - but instead another injury - possibly related to the pop-eye. I agree a trial of antibiotics as suggested by @vetteguy53081 makes sense

yeah they're going around the tanks with general meds right now, if it doesn't heal by itself they're probably gonna treat it.
Thanks. Good to know that it's not uronema and I can still get that hawk.

I agree, this doesn't look like Uronema to me. Are BOTH the angel's eyes cloudy? That can be a sign of Neobenedenia flukes.
