well done a bit more reading and i'm pretty sure he'd be dead if it was brook, so i'm thinking just some sort of bacterial infection, any suggestions on what to do???

get some selcon and garlic if its a bacterial problem,but by chance was the clown hosting in some type of coral?

ive been seeing latley that a lot of clowns get dark blotches when hosting in frogspon's/hammers/torch corals,so it might just be irritating them but i dont really know much about it for shure.

i never knew if anything was wrong with my clownfish...never could tell if he was just joking.....

hmm..

if it spreads it's prolly fungal/viral...whatever, or it could be irritated or inflamed area from scratch on rock maybe? or from the coral...it's so hard to tell....every book i have ever read on fish diseases is unclear about a lot of things, or lot of things are related and you guess wrong...etc ...

good luck.
