SpencerShepard Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 both of my clownfish have large (0.5-1.0mm) black dots on the orange of their bodies. i first noticed it over a month ago but it didn't concern me because it didn't look parasitic. i assumed that they had maybe lost some scales due to aggression from my royal gramma. they are not raised, they don't look irritated, and they're not causing the fish to scratch. they almost look as if they are part of the natural coloration or just under the skin. i didn't think it had really gotten worse until today. any ideas as to what this might be?

Fishfreak218 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 its nothing to worry about.. those are marks from your clownfish brushing up against coral.. Link to comment
SpencerShepard Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 thanks for the reply. although i have never seen either one of my clowns ever contact one of my corals. Link to comment
O Fs Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 if its bumpy black spots, that can be a problem, but if its like beauty marks (smooth black markings) it will be what fishfreak said and will sooner or later be gone Link to comment
