Does my clown look like it has velvet... his fave is kind of flaky... gonna go put him in the frag tank...

 

[PerplexyHexy]

Has a black spot on his opposite side toward the back fin

The black spots are probably something not to worry about my clownfish have them to I think it’s coral stings .

Velvet wouldn't present as a black spot - that could be turbellarian worms (often called "black ich") or hypermelanization caused by anemone or coral stings. Would depend on the nature of the spots . . .

It's a bit difficult to see whether he's got any of the white spotting of ich or velvet, or the haze-and-peeling of Brooklynella, with all the algae on the glass.

Sounds more like Brooklynella. Here's a link to pictures and Humblefish's Treatment Plan for Brook: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/brooklynella.247938/#post-2913287
