Bulldog is almost a year old in my tank now. I don't know how old he is really.

Anyway he is delevolping black spots all over him. Like an old man getting liver warts. This just character aging or bad?

Todd: I had a pair of clowns that developed that when they lived in a large sacrophyton that was surrounded by zooanthids. They would swish in the zoos and leather as a surrogate anemone. Once I removed them from that leather the blacks spots disappeared. I believe they are harmless. After a year of living in the leather the leather just stopped opening and kept shedding. Then they decided to live in a large group of frilly mushrooms and are now residing in Wasabi's tank.

Thanks Sally, He does live in any colonies, just hangs upside down in the corner of the tank at night. Overwise a free swimmer. Eats like a pig right out of my hand. It most likely just maturity happening..
