Maroon coloring and anenome?

[peachie98]

Okay...I posted the other day about how my female maroon immediately hosted my new BTA. The only thing is that since she started hanging out in the anenome for the past few days, her coloring has become lighter and lighter. Not just in spots, but her entire body color. My male GSM who hasn't been hanging out in the BTA is still his nice dark maroon color.
Any help on why she is doing this?

Hmmm....
I think it is more common for the clowns to get darker in areas when they host.... I have never heard of one getting lighter.....Very interesting!
Maybe she is just really really happy!

Hahaha...she seems to be VERY happy!
It is weird...maybe it has something to do with the fact she was hosting behind my hob filter where it was darker, and now she's out in the middle of the tank where there's more light?
