Today before feeding my fish I noticed these black dots on one of my clowns. Does anyone know what these are? Thanks

Does he host anything like a nem or hammer, frogspawn... that type of thing? Anything in the tank that has a sting to it?
 
I have a small RBTA, two torches, a hammer, and a frogspawn. He doesn't host any of corals but last week I saw him swimming a lot around the anemone for multiple days but I didn't really pay attention to the coloration of the fish so I can't tell for sure wether he was stung or not.
 
Mean There is a Thing As Black ich You Can keep a Eye On It But From What i Can Tell In The Pictures Doesn't Appear To Be That.
 
I had a clown that would try to host my torch coral as there was no anemone at the time, had black spots that looked like that.

He's probably attempting to host that nem. It's stinging him, but dont worry. This happens with clowns when they host something new and as they get used to it, the spots will go away and shouldn't come back.
