Dark Spots Found on Clown

[Trevor Lahey]

I noticed these little dots on my guy a couple of days ago, I bought him back on the 14th of October.  At first it was just on his right side but now he appears to have some on his left side and near his fins.  He is the only fish in the tank and no signs of stress on other livestock:

 

Pulsing Xenia

Zoa's

Ricordea mushroom

Devil's Hand

3 Cerith

2 Trochus

 

He's still swimming and happy and eating well, doesn't appear to be sick.  I read they might be from coral stings, would appreciate any input.

Agree; most likely Clownfish Hyper-Melanization:
