I have not idea what is going on with my fish. Everything in my tank is absolutely perfectly like the ocean and there is nothing that could be causing this affliction I am certain, also the animal shows no signs of distress.

Anyhow, My Percula has developed very worrisome markings all over its body. Here is a picture of it when I first got it back in March 07

And all of a sudden it won't leave my poor GSP alone.
What is a terrified reefer to do:D :rolleyes: ;)

No worries. All it is is sting marks for the star polyps. Sometimes they go away others don't.

Pretty fish and healthy:)

She just started hosting the GSP yesterday but the color change has been happening over the past few months.

I just made a silly thread because I like her new "Onyx" coloration.
I really think that the color enhancement can be strongly attributed to New Life Spectrum Pellets. I saw a darkening withing a few weeks of buying them.

Nothing to worry about. As some clowns grow they get darker. My first percula did that. I wish it went as dark as yours though. Some people like it, some dont.
