ID Black/Brown Spots on Occy.

[Pastey]

Within the passed 2-3 days, this occy. has been displaying some spots near it's pectoral fins, underside and near the gills. I know they're prone to coral stings so I let it go for a day or 2 before worrying about it but it seems a couple more have cropped up. No drop in feeding response and all mannerisms point to a healthy fish but these have me a bit worried.

As best I can tell, they don't seemed raised up like bumps. Sort of reminds me of a fungus(?) but after some googling and digging, I can't really come up with anything that matches the description.

Hopefully these pictures help but clowns are REALLY hard to get detailed pictures of...

They look like coral stings, nothing to worry about. IME they can take a while to go away.

Just curious, what type of corals would cause this?

 

[Pastey]

Anemones and euphyllia for starts...of which I have both. 4 quadricolors, a torch and frogspown with 3 heads each. There is plenty of stuff in my tank for it to rub against. That's what I assumed they were at first also. I wish I wasn't going out of town tomorrow for 5 days so I could keep a closer eye on it to make sure it's nothing else. Guess I'll just have to hope for some luck.

that fish looks expensive and a lot better than all the other designer clowns i've seen

Not all that expensive. Just a "snowflake" really. Picked it up at the LFS after my other orange occy. took the leap onto the hardwood. Thanks for the kind words!
