Just getting back in to the hobby after an 8-10 year break. Don't know if one of my Frostbite Clowns is sick or if this is normal under stress. When the lights came on this morning I noticed the back of one of the fish had turned gray. Everything looked normal last night. I have two Frostbite and two Ocellaris Clowns. They have been jockeying for dominance for the last couple of days. Ocellaris have been in the tank for 11 days and the Frostbites 7 days. He also didn't eat this morning but is swimming around now. The tank is a new, Red Sea reefer 750. Cycled with Dr. Tim's, first clowns went in on the day Dr. Tim's said add fish. Water appears ok. Ammonia 0, Nitrites 0.1, Nitrates 25. I did a 25% water change 6 days ago. Plan to do another one this weekend to try and bring the Nitrates down. Thanks in advance!
Frostbite Clownfish tail turned gray overnight

I have pictures but am having no luck figuring out how to attach them to the thread. Clown's tail is still gray but he has been swimming and eating with no issues. Someone said it could be dirty tail, just amazed it could change colors in 8 hours. If you can tell me how to post a picture I would be happy to attach a couple. Thanks
