This is my Fire Flash, Furī, and I just got him today! I saw these black spots on the edges of the leaves and I was wondering what might be causing it?

It may be sensitive to what's in the tap water. Try using rainwater, distilled water, or use a water conditioner and that may help prevent it from going further.

My thoughts are either a humidity issue or possibly as previously suggested reaction to tap water chemicals. Since you just got it today it would have started from wherever you bought it.
