Clown Fish Liver Spots?

[sharuq1]

Some seem to just get more black, or in this case spots as they get older. In other cases they get the markings from rubbing on certain corals. I don't think it is anything to be concerned about unless it looks "fluffy", raised or is eating away at tissue or the like.

If that's all it is I guess there's not much I can do about it. I hope he doesn't get wrinkley too!

Looks a little like a sting from a coral to me, if that's the case it should go away eventually. Doesn't look like disease. Nice Clown

Another person told me it looked like a zoanthid sting. My clown usually avoids all corals in my tank so maybe he lost his resistance over the years?

I think they call it hyper melanization, usually the result of some sort of sting.
