black spots below blue hippo tang

[newreef06]

I have a blue hippo tang taht has black dots right below his eyes. I was wondering If this is a problem or thats the way they look. I had the tang for 8 months now. I got him when he was a baby. He didnt have this. Is it that he got older. This is not ick or any sickness. I seen other pics with these fish that have this. Let me know what you think

Do you have any corals or nems in the tank that might have stung him?

No not that I know of

I think that is part of their markings. I have seen them in the stores and they usually have spots on their cheeks right below their eyes.
