    Do you have any frogspawn in your tank? If you do they might be pigment discolorations, from your clown getting stung, while it was trying to host in the frogspawn. If that is what it is, he/she will be fine and it will go away. It happens to mine all the time.

    Thanks for the info! But...I have A LOT more black spots on my clown than you. Are they still stings? Also what are the chances my clown will host the frogspawn now? That would be pretty cool :)

    theres a good chance the frogspawn will host it if its big enough...sometimes clowns can be too rough and damage to corals..
