Ive read clowns can get black spots like that from coral stings. Have you noticed it trying to host any of your corals?

hyperpigmentation.. yes possibly from a sting.

Those are good signs. I believe if it had parasites you would notice a lot of mouth or surface breathing but there are many more qualified users here that can help you get a more definitive answer

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Tough to see in the photos, the focus is a bit off. The black spots look like hypermelanization to me, not much to worry about. I don’t think the black spots are turbellarian worms. However, I can sort of see white spots on the fish as well. Can you see them or are they just an artifact of the photos?
