Had my female clown since February and noticed black spots only on one side in the orange. She host a BTA not sure if that could have anything to do with it. Other fish look ok as of now.

Looks like hypermelonization, basically she rubbed up against a coral that she hasn't built up an immunity to yet. Itll go away on it's own:)

That is great news. My BTA’s split and she is brutal on them. I hoped that would be the case. Thank you Mayor Crabs you made my day!

My clowns used to host a duncan colony that gave them bad coral burns. Cleared up after a while after removing the coral but one clown still has a couple black spots years later.

You may have solved it. Female joined the male that host the Duncan’s. She won’t share the BTA’s

Yes I agree with this diagnosis.
