Chromis with Orange / Brown spot

[TLTGF]

Is this something to worry about?

It is the Chromis in the middle of the picture, and the spot is near its tail, but still on the body. Best pic I could get - my Chromis are shy.

May be a parasite, I had a chromis that had some kind of flesh eating parasite ate a hole right thru him... it started with a small spot, then begin to get bigger till he looked like he was bitten... never was able to diagnose the issue

well that odd I was actually getting info on a Tang which actually just led me to discover what i just discribed as Head and lateral line erosion, also known as HLLE, hole-in-the-head disease... hope this helps, now i need to read up on this myself
