Black Spots on Clownfish

[niloc16]

they are pretty common, it is usually sting marks from a coral. if they host a torch or frogspawn sometimes they will get stung. they are not hurt from it but it leaves a mark. mine have had it with not ill effects

[bv_reefer]

-are sting marks like that common with some softies 2? cuz i'm going softies with a tomato clown so i'm just wondering, if those sting marks should be something I should expect or not.

with clowns you can expect. they will try and host anything

I think it looks cool.

hey thats a cool colour by the way. The only coral in that tank with significant stinging power is a member of the euphyllia family like torch corals and it is a neon green frogspawn, This is just my gf's tank and she was worried you all know how girls get. So i tank it as theres nothing really wrong with her fish???

Also while someone brought up the subject of zoo's how do you make them grow faster. I dont know much about growing zoo's because i mainly grow clams and sps, then i have my biocube 14 with softies and i know how to make them grow like crazy is iodine and phyto. But how do you make zoo's grow faster???

if its got wiggly bits i wouldnt put it past them.. might not host in terms of bringing it food but it might like it as a hiding/ sleeping place.

But i would look like it is hosting it?
