Does this look normal?

Came back from a trip and found two new leaves on my new fiddle leaf fig. This is a new plant and have never owned a FLF before do new leaves look like this?

Both new leaves have this pattern and no other plants I own are like this.

It's edema. It occurs when the plant suddenly take us a lot of water causing the young leaf capillaries to burst. It goes away as the leaf matures.

Here's some on mine.
Thanks @RJG. Was scared it was some sort of disease. Never came across it before.

Good it know it's nothing except maybe a bit too overzealous watering it before I left for my trip.
