Dark spot in my clown (???)

[Luis]

Well this clown has been very weak since I got it... he had got every single disease in the world. First he got ich then he got fiungus then he got something that I cured with hidrogen peroxide :lol: then fin rot I treat him with antibiotics. I'm trying to boost his inmune system with selcon, spirulina, cyclopezee. Everything looked normal for the last week... but this morning i notice something new :roll: , he got like a mole in his face, it's a dark spot the size of a penny in one side of his face, the wierd thing is that the spot stop right in the front of its face drawing a perfect vertical straight line. I've been watching him all day long and the spot didn't grow. He's eating as normal...

All the other fish are healthy, his "fiance" has never been sick.... :wink:

Any clue?

Thanks

Hypermelanization? Which is just increased melanin skin pigments that is usualy associated with clownfish hosting other things than anemone' such as corals. Does them no harm.

I agree with Chuck's assessment. It happens a lot with captive clowns.

I've seen more clowns with these types of dark areas than without them.

Mine has had them his whole life and they seem to get darker with time. After 3 years, he looks more dark than orange. For mine, it's from hosting in frogspawn and green star polyps 24/7 for the past 3 years.

Ok , I feel better now. Yes he looks great, he's eating and swimming as normal, the thing is: That spot crosses the white stripe and looks awful .... yes I have Frogspawns and Green star polyps in my tank. :roll:
