Hello everyone I hope that you all are doing well.
I have had my clownfish for over 3 years, recently over the past 3 months I have noticed that the orange areas of their bodies are starting to form these black markings.
One is a wyoming white clown, black markings are developing on its face and fins.
The other one which I am most concerned about is a tank bred ocellaris, black markings are developing behind its fins.
Any ideas what it might be? Thank you in advance.

Pigments suggest stings from coral, anemone or both and should go away on their own
