    Those spots (just a hypermelanisation in small areas) are fairly common in perculas and occellaris clowns. They come and go, but that may have to do with the clown's association with corals or becoming acclimated to them just like with an anemone.

    (Thanks to my buddy who owns the clownfish hatchery)
