They look to be spots caused by stings like from a nem or coral. They should heal on their own as the clown gets used to whatever it's trying to host.

@Diesel, I think you might have wanted @Humblefish over me. What I know about fish diseases would fit on a thimble!

Yes that's my female. She spend most of her time in the anemone and sleeps in it as well. I like her war wounds. Lol.

That makes sense. They develop a resistance to the nem in time and wont always have those spots. She's just getting used to her new home

No more Thursday happy hour Margaritas for me
Ok than problem solved.
I'll drink to both of these! Best of luck figuring out the black spots. Unfortunately I'm a DIY fix-it guy and not a disease guy!.

I'd keep doing water changes to dilute the nitrites. IMO it won't be easy to keep the nitrates under control with two fish in such a small tank. Do you have good filtration? Great tanks btw!

Thanks. I just finished doing another test just to ease my ocd mind. Lol. Everything is down to 0 all across the board. I'm running a desktop sock filter and a bag of Chemipure elite mini. I also keep a small ball of chaeto in the center chamber. First time this pico tank gives me a reading on anything. In either case I am building a 10 gallon Nuvo tank to move my bioload into and keep the pico tank as a zoas garden. I'm growing out some really nice zoanthids and palys in my 29 gal. biocube.
