It means that if you didn't put it in QT to begin with and you put it in with other fish in your main display you will probably end up murderdeathkilling all the other fish you have in there with it.

I think it has something to do with your user name. Just kidding.
Could'nt resist. I think of something useful next post. Is he eating well? Any other fish in the tank showing any symptoms?

Could be what's called "black ich".

Could also just be melanism ... hopefully. Melanism is like age spots in humans and go away with time. I have heard them coming when a clown starts to host in something.

I'm sure the other fish aren't as stressed and have natural immunity..

Is the percula the new fish or old fish?
