Disease or Hyper-Melanization?

Okay guys, I'm freaking out here! :faint: I came home today to find my two new (bought them 2 weeks ago) naked clownfish covered in black spots. I immediately thought they got a disease, but then I started reading online about hyper-melanization.

Here are pics of my fish:

What do you all think?! :confused:
 
You have any corals or anemones that can sting them?

Black ich or hyper-melanization,I can't tell but I'm leaning towards the later.The dots look faded not like the pronounced black dots of black ich.

I have plenty of corals that sting; no anemones though. I agree that the black spots don't look pronounced, so I'm hoping it's just hyper-melanization. I just don't know...
