Hi hi, new hobbyist here :^D
Does anyone know what the dot on my clowns are? They both have a dot around the same area, just one is white with a black center and the other is just black. I dont know how long theyve been there, just noticed it today. Its a relatively new tank (6months) but the clown have been in it for 4 months already. They act as theyve always have and everything. Should I be worried/ do something?

thank you

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

First off, do you have any stinging corals in the tank, like torches?

Hi ty! And yes, i do, but they're still relatively small and out of the way. Im just confused because both fish have a dot but they look different so I was wondering if they still had the same cause.

They may not be related, but given the possibility of this being a coral sting, I would just watch and see if additional symptoms develop.
