Clownfish Hyper-Melanization

What You Need To Know:

* Small black smudges (larger than "Black Ich" turbellarians) typically found on clownfish.
* This is more of a condition than a disease. The dark spots are reactions from coming into contact with an anemone or stinging coral.
* Most of the time it self-corrects, in rare cases it can be fatal for the fish. It all depends upon whether eventually the host "accepts" the clown(s).

Would be great if we could figure out a way to make RC's fish disease forum more active again. Like in it's heyday.

Would be great to get the forum more active in general. The disease forum should be linked to the new to the hobby section so people can educate themselves before going into a LFS and buying everything that looks "cool"
