So I was home all day and tonight about 10 minutes ago i looked at my clwon fish and there are all these dark spots on them. ON there fins and on there skin....but none of the spots are on the white parts of them, just on the orange. They ate fine today and seem to have there usual energry. Does anyone know what this could be, it looks like a pin burts and the ink splattered all over them, that is the best way to describe it. If someone could let me know what this is and what to do it would help.

peace,

Googled this up for you......"Discrete Pin-head Sized Spots on the Body and Possibly Fins: Most often indicative of the protozoan Cryptocaryon irritans."

Sounds like you're talking more about blotches as opposed to pin-sized spots. If the former, these are usually from the clowns burshing up against corals and are perfectly harmless. If the latter, then tj51's probably right on.
