Can you get a picture, most likely just a pigment issue.

Sounds like a pigment issue, with Koi we call this a shimmy..not sure what it is called with discus...pepper?

it is called peppering, but not common in the blue strains. I have only heard of black spot as a disease in marine fish

Older Blue Diamonds can develop black specks, not an issue.

Like Eddie says some older BD will develop some black spots . I have encountered that with some of mine.
