Clown Fish

Rating: 2 votes, 5.00 average.
I've noticed now for the second time that one of my 2 clowns has a dark spot on it. The 1st time I noticed it, I believe that it disappeared on it's own. I've only had these 2 clowns for about a month now and was wondering if anyone else is has ever seen spots on clowns....( No, it's not a "funny" lol.... ) Although, I do sometimes hear circus music in the background...


Thanks all,

Aaron

    Are you talking about the bright orange spot? Or something else? When Clownfish rub against some corals, they can get spots as a result. For example if they swim up against zoanthids, they may begin to sport black spots on their bodies.

    Mine have changed in this manner over time, or at least one has.... could it be part of the male/female transformation process?

    I really couldn't say. That could be the coloration is is trending toward, genetically.
