sounds like an anemone sting. If you have an anemone, stings may show up as black spots. It is most likely harmless, let me find a link to a picture.

I have an oscellaris with the same issue....
From what I've heard and from my own personal experiance yes, should be harmless. I would say if your fish appears stressed or is acting in a manner out of the norm, then you may have issues. My clarkii had those spots when I first introduced my BTA, however it has since disappeared. My clown never appeared stress while he had those spots and I've have had him for almost 3 years.

My three clowns decided to start hosting my torch coral. All of them now have the black spots where they have been stung. My worry is the clowns hurting my beautiful torch.......
