It will go away. My tank raised clowns also had little black spots on the when they started hosting and now they are all gone.

not to intrude on your tread but my green chromis has the same brown spots all over his body as well. I just put a bta in the tank three nights ago. Will it go away also or should I take the chromis out of the tank?

Chromis typical have these shade variations that signal stress, but this is not typical with clowns.

What would cause him to be stressed? He is breathing hard as well. Should we put him in our QT?

Can you describe exactly what you are seeing, or post a picture. Also, what are your water readings?
