some time clowns get this it can be a few things like water quality stress or need more nutrition such as vitamins we sell a multi vit u can soak the food in

Is the clown hosting anything? Sometimes if they host a coral not normal to it they can get those spots. I had a friend that had a clown hosting zoas a gsp and the clown developed those spots. Nothing to worry about just a reaction to the corals sting. I actually have a pair of clowns hosting a patch of yellow star polyps but haven't developed those spots. I'm guessing it depends on the type of coral and/ or the type of toxin it produces when irritated by the clown.

Mine had the same spots after hosting a hammer( or may have been a torch, can't remember) Pretty sure it's just stings.. They went away , verrrry slowly.
