Black Ich or Coral stings

[BobbyBPG]

Hi, I have a serious question I am very concerned about what I should do. Is this a case of black ich or am I overreacting? I just started noticing them show up recently. The clowns have been trying to host the hammer head coral and I am dealing with some digitate hydroids so could those be the culprit?

Look like coral sting.

Thanks! That's a relief.

I can’t tell much from the photos, where on the fish is the afflicted area?

On the top of the headbar and in the second pic there is a black dot between both second and third bars.

Do you have any octospawns or torch corals?

Black ich tends to have more of an imperfect shape when compared to the perfect circles imprinted from a coral sting like torch and octospawns

I have a frogspawn they have been attempting to host.
