Help diagnosing black spots on clownfish

Haha figured as much, although the female has also twitched once or twice.

The output for the filter creates a decent amount of surface disruption, but I also have an air pump on hand if that would be beneficial. I've heard mixed reviews about using them in saltwater though. I can slowly increase the copper.

Both are still eating which is good. I usually feed pellets daily, and frozen food a couple times a week. It usually makes a mess of my tank even with the shrimp being greedy.

I think you have good answers, but it could turn into velvet if things get worse. Here is a decent thread on the issues:

Luckily everything is back to normal now. I treated with therapeutic levels of copper for about 4 weeks then returned them to my main tank. One issue I had was that the quarantine tank wouldn't drop below 81 degrees. After reading that warmer temperatures help eradicate disease, I think that may have helped get them better in the limited timespan that I was able to have a quarantine tine. They are both alive and doing well I truly appreciate all the help!
