Today noticed some yellow spots on both sides of one of my clowns she’s eating but showing more aggression to her partner than usual. I added a wild fish to the system for the first time last week which I observed but didn’t medicate so afraid something has been introduced to the system. I have copper on hand but not sure if it’s the correct treatment for whatever it is.

Pics are dark in blue hue to tell but may be sting, bites or bacterial but need pics under white lighting to fully confirm

Here’s more under white light:

There are no corals in the tank so stings not a possibility. She is typically the bully her partner submits right away but sometimes tangles with the cardinal.

Looks like sting from anemone or euphyllia or even urchin but can be bite marks from another tankmate
I believe stings - will heal on its own

I agree, these look like bite marks/missing scales from fighting with the other clown. As long as they work out their differences, they’ll heal in a month or so.
