What about corals? My clown gets black spots from the Paly patch where he hangs out. He also gets them when he hangs in my Goniopora.

Looks like hypermelanization from a coral sting to me. If so, it’ll heal on its own most likely. Soak his foods in some vitamins (selcon, zoecon, or vita chem).

Here’s a close up pic of what my clown looks like with his stings:

Yeah that's coral stings, my clownfish had the same thing but it got heaps worse but after they stop trying to host the coral, it healed up. It's their way of building an immune system to coral stings.
