No other symptoms, eating well and behaving normally. I first noticed today. I’ve had the fish for 6 months. I don’t think they change in numberHi, pictures are important, but so is the background information about the fish and tank. Here is a post that describes that:
Some Helpful Hints When Posting or Responding to Threads in the Fish Disease Treatment and Diagnosis Section
Aquarium Fish Disease Problem Solving Determining the best course of action for a problem with your aquarium can be a difficult task. Even advanced aquarists will often need to seek the help of others for complicated or unique issues. Our intent here on Reef 2 Reef is to offer expert advice...www.reef2reef.com
Important to this case is:
How long has it had the spots?
Any other symptoms?
How long have you had the fish?
Do the spots come and go and change in number from day to day?
The go-to immediate conclusion is that this is Cryptocaryon, marine ich. Some of the spots seem a bit elongated, but I can't tell if that is the picture's focus or if they are in fact, not round.

Hmm it may be the former since it is getting picked on by a big clown but I will keep an eye out. Thanks.You'll need to watch them for 2 or 3 days. Use your first photo as a reference. Take additional photos each day and compare them. If the spots are in the same location and same number, then these are either mucus plugs and/or broken fin rays. If the spots are in new locations and change in number (up or down) then it is more likely ich.

Very similar to that (I don't know how they got that good of a pic of a damsel) someone said its possible for them to fight it off on their own since they're so hardy. Would metroplex work well?Looks like Ich (is it similar to this?)
Watch closely for any spots that return in new locations - more of a sign of ich.@Jay Hemdal @vetteguy53081 update: i don’t have pictures, but the spots seem to be fading, some have disappeared completely. They’re almost translucent now compared to yesterday.
