Black ich

[Musho3210]

One of my clown developed a black spot a few weeks ago, i thought it was just because one of the corals (torch) was stinging it since it was trying to host. This was, until, i looked again and the clown is now covered in black spots. This leads me to believe they have turbellarian worms.

Other than that, they seem perfectly healthy, the black dots are the only symptom, they are not lethargic, they have a very good appetite, and they are not scratching themselves on rocks.

I'll try and get pictures but the dots are very small and my camera is not that good.

Help please

the dot in the third picture near the mouth is just some dead coralline on the glass

there are no spots on the white bands, and i havent added fish in... about 4-5 months.

Yup that's Hypermelanization fairly common among clowns. It's from the stings of corals and anemones. They usually o away after a very short while.
