Possible frogspawn sting?

[mischa91]

I have 1 small head of frogspawn in my tank with my 2 clowns. Currently they do not have a host and stay up in the corner by the outflow, they're pretty new still. I noticed this morning that one of them had a few black spots on it's body behind the middle stripe, couldn't get a clear photo.

Could it have gotten stung by the frogspawn? what do stings look like on clowns? I don't think the fish is stressed and it eats like a trooper.

The black dots are very small.

clowns might be trying to host the frogspawn. i wouldnt worry about it if it eats and acts normally

yes that's exactly how it got those black spots. I have clowns that hosts my hammers and they all got the spots right after they started hosting it.

This is very common. I wouldn't worry about the clowns. The coral may be in trouble though.

I thought as much, fish is acting the same and is happy enough with it's buddy. I'm not going to worry about the frogspawn, it's sprouting 2 new heads and packs one hell of a sting and i'm sure it thinks it's a torch coral; it nailed me when i fed it once so if the clowns decide to get rough i'm not too worried.
