black spots on clownfish?

If they're black "blotches it's most likely the clowns playing in your zoas or bubble. If that's the case there's no need to worry.

+1 most likely zoa stings. Nobody ever said clowns were smart.

I have a clown that developed black spots too , that was about 9 months ago he dosent touch any of my corals and at the time i didnt have anything but a colt coral which dosent sting . Its kinda weird because it came outa nowhere and never got any worse .

Hey I agree with the Zoo's. I have a ton of zoos in my little tank and my one clown would sleep in them on occasion, after he started that he developed black spots too. Shouldn't be anything to worry about.... besides mine had a black spot on his face that looked like a moustache. My brother calls him 'stalin-fish'....sigh.
