It looks like it could be a tiny abrasion. This can be due to swimming around or rubbing against tank furniture. Maintain pristine water quality and keep an eye it. Monitor for redness, discharge or bleeding. You can clean it daily with some diluted Betadine or chlorhexidine (Hibiclens) if necessary. Try to see what he or she may be rubbing against and remove it or relocate it.
