Hi, I just picked up two new ocellaris clownfish from my lfs. They Both are babies one being 1-2 cm and the other an inch. They seem to have black spots all over them, and I am wondering if this is black ich or something to be worried about? From what I read online black inch is suppose to be pin sized spots which some seem to be and there are others that are larger. Is this normal for baby clownfish?

It also could be Clownfish Hyper-Melanization, but I doubt they came in contact with any coral since they came directly from the LFS
