Hi everyone just noticed a single black spot on only one of my clowns, the female, no other signs seems fine swimmin about, ate this morning just wondering if anyone has info on it, because ive been reading around and theres a few things it could be and i cant narrow it down by myself. Thanks in advanced, heres a couple pics sorry for bad quality but the wiggling makes it hard, the spot is in between the last and middle stripe, bottom rightish.

I like corals...
I sent you a very important PM...
Also my clown has a few black spots on it.. have had them for over two years though.

:O that would be awesome
thank you for reminding me! I've been reading they can just appear so hopefully they are benign

Common in clownfish, this appears as brown spots or ovals where a stinging coral or nem as come into contact with the fish’s skin. Typically nothing needs to be done to cure this as the clown becomes accustomed to it’s new host’s sting. This can occur with other fish, but again no action needs to be taken. It will heal up on it’s own.
