Not sure if this is a sickness or this is just healing from where the perculas have been nipping at each other. Any ideas ? Little black spots. No other fish seem to be impacted by this.

Are the fish new to the system or have you added any new corals to the tank recently? Most likely hypermelonization. Black marks a fish gets when rubbing up against a new coral. Itll go away on it's own

They were the first 2 fish I purchased. They do like to be close to the torch coral I was thinking it could have been that, but saw them nipping at each other recently.

I have added new fish, but haven't seen them get into it

The torch is probably stinging them, causing the black marks.

Sometimes a new pair of clowns will nip at one another until they work their marital issues out. ;) But if the fighting gets too bad, this likely means you have two females that will need to be separated.
