Clowns turning Black

[TonyQ]

I just added a new clown about 3 weeks ago and it started to turn black and now my older clown that I have is also turning black. They are both happy and eating so I don't know whats going on they did pair up. Here is a pic Hope some one can help thanks Anthony.

are thhere any zooanthids in your tank? these cause lots of clowns to darken

 

[TonyQ]

Yes there is. It is mostly a zooanthid tank I just want to make sure there not sick. I know the smaller one is wild caught and I just added a BTA. I know they could darken up from that but they have not even looked at the bta.Thanks Anthony

And of course the bta moved in a spot where I don't want it. It seem pretty happy so hopefully it will move.

I hope it's just the zoo's thing. Any other Ideas they are still turning more black. Thanks Anthony

what are they hosting in besides the zoos?

 

[TonyQ]

They are not hosting anything at this time not even the zoo. They eating fine and acting normal.

I had these guys for over three years. At any given time, they hosted a torch coral, zoa's, a closed brain (ouch!) and a RBTA. They remained vibrant orange throughout. Just my experience.
