Black spots on clown fish.

Hello everyone. I just noticed both of my clown fish have black spots on then. They are both swimming well and eating like normal. Anything to be worried about?

Can you post a pic? It would be very helpful.

Are they small spec like dots? Or larger darkened areas?

I don't know what kind of corals you have but sometimes clowns will attempt to host them, and get stung. Causing Hypermelanization.

Or it could be black ich.

They are small black dots. I added a torch not too long ago. I tried to snap a picture but I couldnt get a clear shot

That could very well be your culprit, if you are dealing with hypermelanization.

Agreed. Post a pic when you can, but it is likely them getting stung by the torch
