Grey Spots on Clownfish

Hi everyone,
I woke up this morning to find these on my Black and White Ocellaris. I have no idea what they are. Fish is swimming fine/eating and otherwise acting completely normal. They appear to be like two grey blotches on his skin.

From the posts/pictures i have looked through this morning, it appears like the spots are too big to be ich, but i could easily be wrong.

I tried my best to get a clean picture but this was the best i could do, its still a little fuzzy. Sorry.

Thank you for you help.
 
It doesn't look like ich to me either. How long have you had the fish? When was the last time you added new livestock? When you quarantine new fish, do you treat them with anything while in quarantine? Are the edges of the spots even or irregular? Do the spots appear fuzzy or smooth?

You might take a look at this site and see if anything looks similar to you:

I have had the fish for about 2 weeks. Spots are smooth.

It was suggested to me that it may be HyperMelanization from going into the frogspawn. Apparently on a black clown the spots are grey instead of black.

I have not heard that, but it doesn't mean it isn't true. :) Does the fish spend much time in the frogspawn? If you haven't treated the fish for flukes, you want may also want to look into that.
 
I've got a lil green spot on mine idk what it is I've searched and searched and I can't find if it's bad or not! It's been about a week or so since I noticed it
