I think its called hyper-melaninization. My percula just had the same thing. Its from the clown coming in contact with coral that have nematocysts, like frogspawns and the likes. But if they are raised bumps, i don't know what they are. I am still researching the spots, if i find anything new, ill let you know.

Well if they are touching my frog spawn, maybe one day the clowns will actually take to the 4 'nems I have in the tank for them!
