[sgarron]

both of my occelaris clowns have developed small black spots on their orange areas the white stripes are fine. any ideas? water parameters are fine.

sounds like coral / anemone burns

PP is probably correct. If the clowns are attempting to host something other than an anemone, then it is a common melanistic response while they get used to the sting of their would be host. Most common are Euphyllia corals like Hammer, Torch and Frogspawn.

Hope that helps
