If its just black spots that your talking about then you can quit worrying. for some reason clown fish can get dark pigmentations when using some corals as hosts.

My Percs in the past have gotten white bumps (1 each) from hosting in the frogspawn... the bumps went away after about a week and have not returned.

My tomato clown did that for a while and got a whitish burns on it. Didn't hurt it and it stopped hosting in the zoas after a while.

We have a reascued maroon clown that got burns from hosting on things she shouldn't have, lost both pectoral fins from burning that caused a bacterial infection that alnost killed her

Werd...my clown gets them too, I suspect from the frogspawn.....Doesn't seem to bother him at all

I didn't think that zoas would burn my clowns. Funny how they host them, they stick their heads between the zoa polyps for awhile and then flop over.

I suggest you should try to get anemonies or frogspawn for them to host. Poor nemo

I'm not too keen on anemones because of their path of destruction they can cause. I tried a frogspawn once with no success. I'm going to keep an eye on them and see what happens.

FWIW mine has been acting like its hosting in a small mushroom colony lately....Funny how they'll pick and choose

Pair of mine host any thing that has soft tentacle. If i remove anemones, they will dive right into one of my torch, and if i remove torch, they dive in my frogspawn.


It is awesome to watch them
