Noobreefer90 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Ok so I just got to thinking and did a little research. Both of my clowns passed awhile back and I was thinking it was caused by ich. But now that I think Bout it could it possibly be from being stung a lot Right before there deaths they had hosted my torch coral which is gone now. Don’t know if the torch stinging them would cause the white ich like spots and cause there death Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Stings are black and should not be harmful to a clown, they have a thick mucus coat and their host nem actually stings them too. I can't imagine a euphyllia killing a clown, I had tiny itty bitty baby clowns who used to play in them all day. 3 Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I should probably also mention a type of disease of flatworms called 'black ich' but it isn't ich. It is however a parasite. Just in case you did actually have black spots, this is another cause. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/black-ich-turbellarians.259912/ Quote Link to comment
