Hello

noticed these spots on my clownfish yesterday and today. He hosts my bubbletip and wasn’t sure if this maybe just stinging spots or something else.

If you've had the fish for a while i wouldn't worry about it, really doesn't look like much to worry about. Just keep your water prestine and feed em well and it will work out fine for the fish.
Yeah I’ve had him for 2 years. I’ve added new fish recently but they were safety stopped and none of the other fish have it

he was swimming into the glass and spinning almost like he was itching tho.

Safety stop is really just a minimal process - even a full quarantine can let some diseases through, and safety stop will let even more get through. My concern here is that something got in with your new fish that your clown was sensitive to. You noted a change in its behavior and that makes me think it is more than just the "odd spot" that clownfish can get.

Can you take some pictures under white light instead of blue, something with less contrast?

Thanks,

Jay

I’m seeing possible ich here, at least I can’t rule it out. Are the eyes cloudy like they seem to be?
