Do you have ny aggressive corals? My clown gets stung by corals all the time and get black spots like yours. They are harmless and go away assuming they AE the same thing. Can you be a Bette pic? And what kinda corals do you have?

I didn't notice it this morning during feeding so it has to be very recent. I have nems, starburst, mushrooms, 4 misc sps, a bunch of torchs, grape coral, misc zoa colonies, 2 toadstools, hammers, candycane, etc.
Tried getting better pics. Best i can do.

If the clown is going in the torch coral that would cause the black spots.That happened to my clowns after they started going in it.
