black spots on clown

[mlivvy]

My clowns have been hosting in some zoos and one has developed black spots toward his tail. We ruled out black ich but I wonder if it has to do with him hosting in the zoos.

Here's a video-

The zoos came from another local reefer who's clown has the same spots and ironically he's hosting in it too.

thanks for the help.

Your right, the spots are from rubbing on the zoos. Perfectly normal. The spots will eventually disappear.

I am assuming that your wife doesn't read RC, so you are in the clear.

Mine have got them also. I freaked out and thought it was black ich . thankfully it was just stings

It is from the coral stinging the clown. It isn't doing any harm to the clown, just causing the black spots. This happens until the clowns skin develops a resistance for that coral.
