heres a pic of one of the fish, seems to be worse off

on the first stripe of both fish, have been eating and not showing any signs of stress.

have been feeding a mixture of Spirualena enriched brine shrimp, misys and cyclop's twice a week and they still eat like mad...

can someone point me in the right direction?? they are the only fish in the tank, so kinda quarantined already, can quarntine furthur if needed!

If I had to guess, those are wild caught clowns. Because they are used to living in an anemone in the wild, their instinct to snuggle into an anemone is very strong (especially at night). I would bet they are trying to lie in your zoos, and are getting stung. Hard to tell otherwise, because the photo is of a netted fish and you can't really tell the rest of the appearance of the fish.

nope, they were tank raised. and they leave my zoos alone. i couldnt get a better pic of the fish with the red dots visable. however, overall apperance is great minus these spots.

infact i looked them over this am and it seems the spots are gone :s

LOL... well it was worth a guess The dots normally indicate something stinging them, but since you have a live rock only tank, I don't know what they are getting into.
