Black spots on clowns?

[sealuvr4life]

My clowns are covered with black spots, looks like freckles. Other fish (Maroon, Six line wrasse, Gobbie) Dont have the spots. What is this? How do I fix it safely, or do I leave it? I have corals in my tank too, so I know I cant do copper.

What type of corals do you have?
Do the spots look like this?

If so, and of course depending on what corals you have, they are stings from the corals
if not....well...how about a pic?
OH AND WELCOME TO SWF

Zoos and I'm not sure what the other coral is. The corals have been in tank for about 2-3 weeks. Yes! spots look just like that. Thanks for welcome...I'm excited to be here.

I read that there is, but usually only on tangs. So was scared to treat fish like it was black ich, if it wasn't. If it is from corals will it ever go away?

it is probably hypermelanization of the pigments in the skin. my clowns used to get it when they hosted my zoas
this pic u can see a little bit on the upper lip area but it got worse

 

[oneradtek]

yes it will go away, i would not worry about black ich, ive never personally seen it and yes only tangs usually get it

 

[sealuvr4life]

Not sure what this coral is either? LOL!

Good to hear....Oneradtek your coral looks just like mine, and makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the relief, I was worried!
