Hypermelanization.....common in clowns that are being hosted by anemones or cnidarians.

Interesting, I'll keep an eye on it... Hope it doesn't continue... That fish loves that anemone.

As long as it hosts him he will continue to have it. It's not harmful, it's kind of like a freckle.

My pair have similar spots from hanging out in a Torch Coral.

I had clarkii with a spot like that and he had it all the time.
It's a normal color variation and doesn't have to be connected to an atypical host.
