back spots on my clowns

[teeki_tako]

I have noticed black spots on 2 of my 4 clown fish. They are no the orange part of my percula and picasso. They there are about 70 small black dots on them. My snowflake and Black clowns do not have them. Any suggestions thanks

Sounds like stings from soft coral. Are they using zoo's or other soft coral as a host?
