I have a rabbit fish that has that appears to have two small rings 1/8"EA by its Pectoral Fin. It looks more like a figure 8, I dont know what this is I'll try to snap a picture of it...

Any ideas? what causes a ring(s) to form on a fishes skin?

These just showed up last week and the fish seems normal....

Did he get tattooed by one of your anemones or coral?

It probably got into a fight with another fish and got bitten. I wouldn't worry about the marks no matter what the cause was. However the fish does look very thin. Feed him/her more.

Do any of your other fish have spots like this? could be a bacterial infection after a nasty scrape

I feed a fair amount and he is a good eater. I agree he looks thin.....

No other fish have spots like this.....
