White Spots on Chromis

Hello! I have 2 week old tank and my parameters all look really good. I have 2 clowns and 2 blue chromis. This morning I noticed one of them had these white spots on it. Any idea what this could be from?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

The pictures are a bit too small for me to see. However, the spots are too large to be marine ich. They are either stress coloration in the chromis, or they are bite marks from the other chromis. Funny thing about chromis - they school on the reef, but when kept in smaller groups in aquariums, they often fight.

Camouflage. My chromis have spots on them everytime in th emorning when exposed to light for the first, time, but after an hour, it goes away. All fish have a camouflage, especially in the rock work, and I've seen this especially with bicolor blennies. I thought mine was in TROUBLE after seeing it covered in white, but no, it camouflages itself at night
