Clownfish has new black marks on underside

[Eric55]

Hi,

I just noticed this row of black marks on the underside of my female ocellaris.

I don't think it is black ich; those spots are smaller.

She has been swimming around some tight spaces in my live rock. Could these spots be bruising from the rock?

Has anyone ever seen this before?

Has it been hosted by any of your corals?

Yup, I'll bet your clown has been trying to cuddle up to a zoa colony or other non-anemone. I had the same problem with my clowns; it gradually cleared up after I added a BTA to the tank.
