I just got a batch of chromis. 8 of them. 2 are hiding out, wont eat but look perfect and colorful. 4 are eating and colorful. But 2 are eating like mad but dont look too good.

They seem to have these markings on the body. White markings. Not raised fluffy cotton ball markings.

More like whitish scab tissue.

Ive never seen a fish heal before. So does anyone have experience with fish healing from their wounds?

Do they have "scabs" so to speak? White fleshy meat?

Im wondering if these fish maybe were collected awfully and are simply healing or is they have an illness.

Normally id remove immediately and treat with meds but the difference here is that these 2 clowns are not hiding or breathing quickly or swimming erratic.... Heck they are eating like pigs!!! Since the first second i put them
In the tank! Always looking for food.

Im more worried about the 2 fish that stay in hiding behind my rock.... Look perfect but dont eat.

Any help on what fish wound healing looks like? Thanks!

update, i notice a red mark in the center of the white patch. Is this signs of an illness or is the red mark the wound and the white patch the healing of the wound?
