Help! I got this clown fish to be a tank mate with my other clown but shortly after acclimation I see not raised but almost pigment circles on his skin. I’m wondering if he’s a growing Juvenile and/or got stung by some Coral, I’m hoping for the best case scenario but know that’s not always the case. I hav a photo of him alone and then with my original clown

My torch stings the crap out of my clowns. Always black dots on them.
Is there anything I should worry about or do In correspondence to the stings? In other words should I be prepared for anything in the future of the fishes health? And or any precautions I should take?
Nothing to worry about. Just a natural reaction to the stings, they will be fine.

I only have a few corals mostly all beginners, Kenya tree coral, plate coral, some baby zoas, and some coral in the lipo family

Clowns are not the smartest of marine fish and this will occasionally happen and go away. Provide good diet and add garlic extract to foods occasionally for immunity health
