All my Anubias and bucaphalendra seem to be slowly getting covered with hideous dark green spots. Can anybody tell me what it means and if I can get rid of them?

Re: Dark green spots on Anubias and buce
It is the sign of deficiency of Phosphorus. Increase the dosage of PO4. You can also introduce some algae eating snail such as Ramshorn/Nerite snails. Changing the position of Anubias in dark places in aquarium will also help.

I am facing the same problem in spite of PO4 dosing....it's because my Anubias were under direct light ....now i have planted plenty of H.difformis to provide shade.
