My wife was looking at our clownfish hosting in an aussie duncan and noticed the female had a cut/wound on her dorsal right side; I'm pasting in some pics below. Neither one of us can tell if it's infected and/or whether there is some kind of parasite present, but I'm hoping someone on the forums can. We could probably catch it if need be, but I'm afraid that might well be more stressful (and detrimental to healing) than the alternative of observation and leaving her where she is. Thanks in advance!

Anyone have ideas on how to get clownfish to STOP hosting in a chosen location? Our pair of false percula clowns took up residence in our Aussie Duncan colony a few months back, and the Duncan clearly doesn't appreciate their presence. In the past, generally either the tentacles would be widely extended in the flow, the individual polyp mouths were generally visible, or both (see first two photos, below). Now, though, we almost never see either of these two conditions; the duncan spends almost all of its time relatively buttoned-up (see third photo below). Previously, we had clowns hosting in our large frogspawn, which didn't seem to phase it or them at all. In addition, our RBTA has been growing well and I think it could probably handle them at this point, if they'd ever deign to move on (bottom photo). Any suggestions on gently evicting them that won't hurt either them or the Duncan? Thanks.

I have noticed recently that our female false percula clown is developing spots (pics below). I don't believe they are disease, but I am not sure. There haven't been any major changes in the tank recently. Any ideas?
