Black ich looks like black salt grains. That looks like random coloring.
A better photo would help
 
Clowns can get black spots from anemone stings.

If black ich is spotted, it's pretty easy to deal with. Prazi will do it.
 
I appears that clown is right next to that Euyphilia, which can sting the fish and cause those black spots.
 
Well I don't have a anemone, I heard freshwater dips have some effect is that true?
 
Im thinking anemone sting. Try a freshwater bath and see if it seems to clear up
Better terms for this effect is Paravortex which are small and appear as grains of black spots. These have a single host life cycle producing several juveniles. This cycle lasts about 10 days and adhere to fish in poor health. They form a cocoon like fibrous structure in the substrate in which they are able to reproduce and find a new fish to host on., within which they reproduce and therefore re-infect

Many euphyllia corals especially hammers and frogspawn have a sting nearly as bad or worse than many anemones. In the first picture you posted I see a frogspawn so it's very likely that or another coral in your tank caused this mark.
