Dark spots on clown

[evil4g63]

Hi, i’ve had this little guy for about 2yrs. Today i noticed this black spots pretty much all over him. It doesn’t look like a desease because he’s as active as ever and eating well. Should i be concerned or is this something normal for clownfish ? No anemone in the tank.

Pretty common, no real health issue. Sometimes, these can be caused by coral stings, but other times they are "idiopathic" - with no known cause. That one has a lot of the spots though, are they on both sides of the fish?

Yup, almost on the exact same places.

No LPS corals that might have stung it?

So they’re basically stungs then. I got a couple of lps recently. That could explain it.

Thanks for the clarification.
