Hi, I just noticed these black marks on my clownfish. Has anyone else seen this before?
Thanks!

Looks like hypermelanization. Happens when they brush against certain corals. Mine used to host in a duncan and they had black spots all over.

THIS IS OFTEN FROM CORAL STINGS AND WILL GO AWAY ON ITS OWN AND COMMON WITH CLOWNS AND DAMSELS. nO TREATMENT REQUIRED
