Black Spots On Clownfish

[zmax]

I got a pair of clowns about a week ago and they seem to be doing fine but I've noticed some black spots on the smaller on. I've seen them swim through a bigger patch of zoas and was wondering if these look like sting marks? There is also a white mark on its side above its fin. Might need to get some better pictures.

It looks like sting marks from them trying to host in your zoas or something.. but I'm not a pro so I would definitely suggest the help from @Humblefish and @melypr1985

Mine get the same spots when they accidentally rub against zoas. Does not seem to bother them long term.
