Hey guys I've had my pair of clowns for about a month now and I started to notice that one of them is getting black spots but doesn't seem seem sick and eats like a pig! Lol does anybody know what these are? And should I be concerned? Please help me out guys.

Does a nem or anything else host it? My clowns have always developed black markings and spots when they started to be hosted by a nem. It's from being stung bit it never causes any issues.

No not really anything there's no nem but they never seem to have hosted to anything yet I have a few stinging corals like a torch Frogspawn and hammer but they don't really have too much interest in them

My clown has the exact same spots way before I even got a nem, I also had stinging lps so I just kept an eye on it and had read that stinging's cause those black marks. He is still fine and hosting a nem now. Just keep an eye on it to that it doesn't develop into anything but I'm sure he is fine.
