Reeftech Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The female has clown pox LMAO It may be caused by nematocysts of a toxic coral that it is hosting.Clowns arent immune to coral like frogspawn or xenia.Due to the natural hosting process clowns will still try to host something even if it is stinging them.When hosting an anemone a clown will get stung for the first few weeks until it develops an immunity.

Arkayology Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Ya.. It was caused by the clown sleeping next to some yellow polyps. I have since removed them and the spots have all but vanished. Link to comment

Yeah i found that out because my clowns were showing the same spots and so i researched it and thats what i found.It was coming from them hosting a colony of armor of god zoas. Link to comment

Deleted User 3 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 New Guy aka Punk on the left, Marjani the female on the right. New guy is his name because I couldn't think of anything, and he was the replacement for the other clown I had lost... lol. Marjani means coral in Swahili or something, which Coral is the name of the female clown in Finding Nemo, i thought it was clever Link to comment
