the mysterious black spot disease... i'm sure some reefers can chime in and help. i believe it can be caused by trying to host corals where the sting is more than the clownfish can handle.

I've not seen them trying to host anything, they sleep by the shrooms but not in them. I thought it was just the picasso filling in his black but I have no clue why the onyx is getting spotty.
The male also got tired of being chased this week and has learned how to shimmer. There is no more agression at all
It's so interesting to watch them develope.

I'm gonna check my clowns to see if I have the spotting. I also think it's just part of the process of the black filling in. not really sure. something to google.

try googling "clownfish black spot disease" and see if it applies.I've not seen them trying to host anything, they sleep by the shrooms but not in them. I thought it was just the picasso filling in his black but I have no clue why the onyx is getting spotty.

I think as long as the clown is not affected, esp with eating.. should be alright. might just be aging. but nonetheless, keep us posted on the progress.

All that came up when googling was the same 'my clown is hosting (fill in the blank coral) and now has these black spots'
I'm not concerned with the spots as I also think it is just a progression of the black filling in. They are both under a year old and still developing, even though I thought the onxy was done developing when I received her. Oh well ... looks like I may have an almost all black onyx by the end of it. Those C-quest genes are insane.
I'll take the time to get some decent progression pics in a month or so.

Well I spoke too soon, I did find a mention of a desease with the black spots being raised. I have never heard of that or seen raised black spots on a clown.
No, my clowns do not have raised spots, it is just pigment spots.
