My clowns are turning Black...

I had an occelaris clown that had a black spot (markings)
on her tail from day one that I got her 6 months ago.

I noticed in time she had black freckles all over her,
she is healthy, eats well and is quite fiesty.

Last weekend I went out and got her a mate, he was
a bit lighter orange than her and has normal markings.

The new clown was accepted right off, they both danced
around and now live in a green bubble tip anemone.

Here it is a week later and he is getting more and more
tinted black all over (more on top then bottom).

He too is healthy, eats well and is quite fiesty.

I have never seen this before, but I am a bit of a newbie with clownfishes.

Is it normal?

Thank you
 
Its the anemones stinging them i think, my clowns used to host my torch coral, for the first week or so they were covered in black freckles, went away after a while.

The clowns skin is just getting used to the anemone, thats what i'd say.
