Something wrong with my Clown ??

Alexxn · #1 03/16/2007, 05:56 PM

So lately the smaller of my True Percula Clowns is looking kind of odd - he has black splotches on him is the best way to describe it. He is rattier looking than the other one, it doesn't look like ich to me because they are more splotches than spots. The pic I took doesn't show well (he wont stay still) but you can somewhat see on his tail. He also has some on the bottom of his body where his fins are. He eats just fine and is very lively. Should I be worried ??

Hes on the top.

Thanks !

ack. dont panic just yet. what are they hosting in? do you zoas in the tank? if your clown rubs in your zoas at all it can make black spots. there may b other corals that do it too, im not sure

I'm finding the same problem with one of my clown's as well. Nothing for him to host in yet, as I was waiting for things to slow down until I bought them an anemonie.

What if you don't have zoa's in the tank?
