I have heard it discussed that onyx will loose black when hosting. Mine has been hosting a rbta for about 2 weeks and it has developed large black blotches all over the orange parts of it's body. I understand these to be a reaction to the anemone. Now this fish looks like it has some wierd disease, it's pretty ugly, has anyone else had this happen to their fish? I have seen much smaller and fewer black blotches on my hosting ocellaris. Just wanted to run it past you guys and see if anyone else experienced the same type of thing and if it will eventaully regain it's normal coloration, the black blotches on my ocellaris have gone away but they were barley noticable. I have photos of both sides of my onyx.
