Do you have a pic? That will help in identifying what may be wrong.

I've never heard of black spots. How odd. Is he still eating? Is he acting strangely? Breathing heavy? Any other symptoms or just the spots?

My ocellaris pair developed black spots when they began hosting in a euphyllia coral. The pair continued to spawn every 10-14 days and were extremely healthy. The spots were only harmless sting marks that eventually faded away over several months.

I would have to agree with woodstock. I have a pair of oscellaris that are constantly hosting things they shouldn't be (ie frogspawn, zoos, etc) and they have the same spots. Mine are healthy as can be, just weird. They haven't looked at the bta i put in there two weeks ago either. LOL they really are clowns.
