Black spots on clown fishes ??

I seen some clownfishes (false percs) at the local petco that had black spots all over them

What disease is that? how would you cure them ??

I dont buy fish from petco but I'm curious as to the disease they have, they looked happy and it didnt seem to bother them at all

my clown has black spots all over him also but they are due to coral stings. harmless but in a store with out corals to sting them it could be they got the sting marks earlier before going to petco or it could be black ich

Weird, they were bigger spots, not many tiny spots like ich produces, I guess whereever they came from before they musta been near some corals ???

Good to know they wont die though

Here's my smaller clown, whose getting stung by the hammer and frogspawn again.
It goes in phases......one week the corals won't tolerate them, the next few, they will.
