Hi all new to the forum

I bought a pair of ocellaris clowns around 5 weeks ago along with a BTA. The fish were doing fine for the first 3 weeks but then i noticed small blacks smudges/dots on the clowns. They have been like this for two weeks now but show no signs of weakness and are still super active and eat like pigs. I do have other corals in the tank that do sting so just wanted to know if it is black ich or hyper melanization. None of the other fish in my tank ( red spot blenny and yellow coral goby ) have black spots or any type of disease.

Thank you just wanted to know what you think.

P.S. My yellow coral goby has been missing for 12 hours and has not come out to feeding twice which is unlike him.
