Black Ich?

[tucunare]

My clown pair has developed these black spots that seem to have really taken off over the last few days... They dont host on anything so I think I can rule out hypermelanization... They eat like pigs and dont show any signs of sicknes otherwise. Black Ich maybe or a fungus? Your thoughts please

If I remember correctly those arent ich but Christy call them burn marks from hosting other animals other than anenomes like frogspawns and torchs.

Don't worry... It's Hyper-Melaninization.. Like Rogger said..it's from the clown rubbing up on other corals like a hammer, frogspawn, etc etc..

Too big for black ich, looks like hypermelanization to me. They're rubbing up against some coral in the tank...
