Hi all — my clownfish began to develop some very faint black spots — today was my first time seeing them. I thought it was that he was trying to host and the coral was stinging him ( I have no nems). The other day, he had no spots. Now he does. He is still acting the same, swimming all over, following my finger at the glass, and eating. It’s just he has these spots. I thought it was either something stress, hormone, or coral related, but then I see him have a little bit of white stringy poop, and I am like oh no. I think it is black spot disease. Yet, I am not sure. Also though, I have a court jester goby who had some stringy poop a couple days ago as well, yet he doesn’t have any spots. I was going to FW dip the clown — but the only issue is he has a lung deformity - even when I got him, which is the reason I bought him. He is a looks like a baby bulldog. I am worried how he would react to a FW dip. One of my guesses of cause may be, my new snails maybe? I got astrea snails from Tidal Gardens a little ago. He is my most recent fish. I have more coming sometime next week. This is a list of my inhabitants —

Cat Eye Favia/brain

Gorg
Astrea snails
