What type of clown?

 

[Morri]

Coral sea Perc

Many percs can carry excess black on their coloration , have these always been there or are they new and spreading???
for example the female perc in my sig has extra black patches around the base of her pectoral fins.

They have not always been there but they are on her/his lower body and fins

If they are hosting it may be sting scars until the slime layer builds up an immunity..if so these usually disappear
