Hey all,
I know there have been several topics on “black spots on clown fish” which I have had a read through during the day.
Really I’m putting this up just to be on the safe side and clarification, so please accept my apologies for adding another topic that has already been covered.
Anyways, last night I noticed some black spots on my larger clown and a couple on my smaller clown (they are a pair).
Reading up on sone of the threads this could be black ich (although it doesn’t seem to match some of the descriptions/photos I’ve seen) or starting big marks from corals.
The pair are not host in any corals, and basically shake and swim with each other around and on top of a living rock cave. I do have a variety of corals (although I dont know what ones can sting and what ones can’t - newbie lol)
My other theory is possibly from aiptasia, as I have about 8 of these that have managed to grow quickly (currently looking at the best way for me to get rid of them)
So really I’m looking for a bit of advise on whether you think this is black ich, sting marks or another reason!
Please have a look at the attached photo and let me know your thoughts/recommendations.
All parameters are good and salt is at 1025
All fish eating well
Again many thanks for your help (again)
Kind regards
