One of my ocellaris has 2 splinters in its body. I think its from a spiny oyster that I have in the tank, the oyster climbed the glass wall that is directly in front of the ocellaris's home.

What should I do? Is this going to harm her? One is on he body the other is on her right fin and no its not ick it something hard and sharp looking sticking straight out.

The clown will probably dislodge them on her own due to their normal high activity level.
If they get irritated looking (a possible bacterial infection), you may have to intervene by removing them after catching the fish, but hopefully it won't come to that point.
