ok my clown has been hanging around my GSP like he is going to host them.he goes in them sometimes and whenever im not looking shes near them.she has developed 3 black dots.im thinking this is from the GSP stinging her?is this what happens when a clown is trying to get used to the sting of a coral?will it affect her in any way?

fishman, take a look at the Diseased Fish Thread and clowns there with Hyper-Melaninization.

Well, it usually results from the clown's reaction to stinging cells of corals. As clowns are always looking to host something, sometimes they develop these kind of reactions to the stinging cells of the hosted animals.
