Today I noticed a strange spot on my clown fish I'm not sure if it's an injury or if it's some disease. Recently they have started hosting this carpet so is it just the anemone stinging them causing injury?

Fish doesn't seem bothered by it at all! Just looks painful! Kinda imagine it being like a paper cut or scrape! OuchOkay good! It's pink and bloody looking that's why I thought I would run it past the disease squad! I will keep an eye out for infection!
It's pink and bloody looking
Here is a closer look
I will try the vitamin and medicine in the food I usually use the kanaplex might have to go that route!
That doesn't look like hyper melanization in my opinion. It looks like a fish with tons of flukes would look after a FW dip. Odd. @Humblefish I could use your eye on this one.
Nonot flukes! Promise I watched it happen 100% positive on that! That's stings from the new carpet! Swam right in and almost got stuck!
They are pretty juvenile still, so I'm guess that's what caused it? The other one is perfectly health and fine both are eating. Why do you suggest removing both curious? Thank you for your input!That's a B&W Ocellaris, right? Weird those usually pair up with mags & gigs.
However, under the circumstances I would remove both clowns and give them a M Blue bath: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/methylene-blue.257467/
They will also probably need antibiotics (Kanaplex) in a QT afterwards.
