My comment was not related to the tank and algae.
It was due to the fact that the anemone is severally bleached.
It is also too small for the two clowns to play in, and their actions are only adding to the stress the anemone is suffering due to being bleached.

I believe those would be amelanistic. Not albino. Albino would be missing all color. Amelanistic means they are just lacking melanin.

pics from 1-14 are the same fish from the batch from my first post on 08/07/12
You are correct that amelanistic is the proper term, but albino is the colloquial term. Lacking all pigment is leucistic. That would be solid white with blue eyes. Animals with that mutation lack pigment bodies and can not produce any pigments. There are also various albino mutations due to the enzyme pathway needed to produce melanin. T+ albinos or caramel albinos are missing a late enzyme and therefore have a similar pigment that is just light brown instead of dark brown.
They way these fry are looking there might be something else going on there. Multiple sets of genes responsible for the pigment production possibly. I would love some better pics to get a better idea of what could be happening.
