Black Spots on Clown Part 2

About a week or so ago I posted about black spots all over my wife's clown and most assured me it was just from being stung by other non-anemone corals in the tank and since just about everything she has in there are zoanthids I assumed it was from those. I have been able to take a couple of pics now and would like for people to chime in on the visual evidence...

...the fish doesn't appear to be effected in the least, still very active, eats like a pig and doesn't show any signs of labored breathing.
 
Pics are a little fuzzy but it doesn't look like anything to be worried about, either stings of some sort or some other cause of hypermelanization.
 
I would say that I am 99% sure it is just from non-anemone stings.

(( the 1% is just to cover my butt -- hate being wrong. ;) ))
 
local marine observatory has the same problem with there clows because they are hosting in a zoanthid.
 
yeah my female perc has some of those as well, been like that for about 2 years now with no ill effects. She still eats like a pig and lays eggs every 2 weeks like clockwork.

When i posted pics I was told I was probably due to the close proximity to mass of zoo's near the anemone.

Kinda buggs me but doesnt affect the fish in the slightest.
