a "skin tag" on my clowns gill? I sure hope it isn't ich...

Something on my clown...
About a week ago I had noticed a spot on my female, Mocha I believe, clown fish. I was moving the rocks around so i assumed that she had just bumped into something. That spot seems to have receeded, if not completely disappeared. My concern now is that she has something along the bottom of her right gill. It is whitish in nature and seems to stick off of her, almost like a skin tag. She is eating and swimming normally and has been fully living in my BTA, so idk if that can cause issues. I took a video of her, it is difficult to see, but it is most visible when she is in profile on the bottom of her right gill.

As they both sank to the bottom of the river, the frog said "do you mind if I ask you something? You said there would be no logic in your stinging me. Why did you do it?" "It has nothing to do with logic," the drowning scorpion sadly replied. "It's just self destruction is my nature."

I thought I may have caught a glimpse of it....but like you said, tough to see.  It is possible a torn piece of skim from a scrape on the rocks?  Keep a close eye on it and if there is change it's time to start treating, otherwise I would just monitor closely.
