Hey everybody, i have a 40g tank with a clean up crew and two clownfish. I've had these two clown fish for a week now and they look beautiful. Today I finally took a real good look at them and I noticed where the two fins that come out close to their gills look a little red on their body. I really don't know if they were always there but I just finally took a good look. Before I put them in I tested the water, and signs were great. I tested the water just now because I am a little paranoid and the water is great. I checked salinity and this is also perfect. My tank cycle was complete a week before i put them in. Am I just being paranoid? Or is this a concern? They are both true p. orange clownfish.
 
They're eating and behaving like normal. I looked at a few pictures on the Internet and a lot of them look like this. Am I seeing this right, or am I in trouble?
 
I would say your probably okay, just keep an eye on them.  Allowing for the standard look of the clowns there is actually a surprising amount of variation from fish to fish, so as long as they seem happy and are eating i wouldn't get to worked up about it.
