Black spots on Clownfish

[xxxjwxxx]

I have black spots appearing on both my clown fish, it started about 2 days ago or so. Should i be worried?

Do you have an anemone? Could be stings from an anemone.
Otherwise, I've heard of black ick, but don't know much about it.

I don't have any anemones I do have some LPS like, Torch, frogspawn and hammer corals. Could that be possibly causing these spots?

BTW, I feed mysis shrimp and cyclop ez

I'm no expert, just trying to help with what little I do know.
Research black ick and see if it looks like that.

it is pretty common for fish to get black spots when they are using an alternative host rather than an anemone.

Most common host that causes this is zoanthids but LPS can do the same.

my clowns had the same thing before they started hosting in my rbta. Its gone now

Mine started with black spots right before getting their black coloring.
