White freckles? Look like salt or sugar? If so, start researching "marine ich".

And it's "percula" clown. If they truly just have orange and white, then most likely they're "ocellaris" clowns. Percula clown have orange, white, and black.

Nope. That's like saying you drive a Ford Chevy. Either it's a ocellaris (orange/white) or it's a percula (orange/black/white).

Do you have any corals? Occasionally, my clown will get a little black spot (just one though) when it gets too close to either my torch coral or my closed brain when its sweeper tentacles are out. I've equated it to a chemical burn. But it sounds like we're talking more than one or two spots.

Are they hosting in the frogspawn? That could cause it.
