Hello,
One of my clown fish that I have had for about 4-5 months developed a dark spot about 1/4” seemingly overnight this past week. No other fish has one. I can’t tell the color of the spot. She’s acting and eating normal

I have attached a video

I’m concerned about uronema

I have used reef medic for 2 wks, twice in the past 3 months because i lost an entire tank of fish 3 months ago in another tank and most of my fishes came from the same store. All the fish that died in the other tank did not have a single spot on them.

Any thoughts?
Thanks. IMG_3643.jpeg

I can't see the video (YouTube works best). However, the black area looks like it could be from an injury - is it getting better/worse/staying the same. Any other symptoms in other fish, etc

I did some research on ammonia in live rock - and proposed the research forum for others who want to design their own studies/research. .
That's awesome how do you exactly post research onto the research forum? Ive got something I could put in there.

If you go to the research forum - you can see the guidelines and recommendations of how to do it.

Do you have any stinging corals or anemones. That does look like hypermelanization to me.
