Picassos fading color

I bought a pair of Picassos a month ago and everything has been great. They took to an RBTA within hours of being introduced. Over the last two days, the smaller of the two, who is in the anemone less frequently, has begun to fade in color. Is this normal? Anything I should do?
 
Even with healthy and great condition, sometime BTA and less likely H. maginfica will cause A. percula to loose some of the black color that they have. Remove the anemone, and the color will return.
 
It's losing both orange and black. Any other thing I can do? I want to keep the anemone and don't have another tank to put it in
 
I began to have some problems with algae in my tank and because I had a busy test week, I didn't have time to do water changes, so I turned the tank light off for a few days and limited the amount of natural sunlight exposure. The anemone wasn't happy and moved all around the tank, but when I turned the light back on, the clownfish had their normal coloration back...
