Hoping someone can give us some advice. Today we noticed discoloration on the female clownfish in our display tank. She is behaving normally as far as we can tell. Recently we added a bristletooth tang, midas blenny and royal gramma. There has been some aggression since the addition but nothing out of control. She has also been laying eggs recently. Not sure if either event is related but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This is an injury and either against an object or what looks like a tail strike from a tang if you have one. This should heal on its own with good water quality. If it becomes red or sore, treat with seachem Kanaplex in a separate tank
