Hi everyone--
I got an A. percula about a week and a half ago. He was in QT, but he looked fine, so I added him to my display. I know, not very much time, but I don't have any other fish in my display. Anyway, a couple of days ago, a small brown spot appeared on his dorsal fin and today, they are on several of his fins. They are not black like pepper spots, but just brown round spots that don't appear to be raised and don't have a well defined border. Otherwise the fish is acting normal--eating and everything. I guess I should move it back to QT, but can anyone venture a guess as to what it is so I'll know how to treat it? I've attached a few pictures. I really do apologize for the quality--my camera isn't that great. At least you get the idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Neal

Could be a number of things including diet. I would just keep your eye on him/her. Keep an eye for it keeping its fins close to the body. Right now looks to be fine.

Those look like spots clowns occasionally get when they interact with corals .. if so, don't worry .. will go away on their own.
