Weird behavior and discoloration from 1 of my clowns

Please help. I have a pair of ocellaris clownfish that I got on the same day 2 months ago. One of them has always lightly chased the other and I've assumed this to be the female. Lately she has been bullying the other clown so much that he is almost constantly in hiding. If she sees him see immediately chases him very rapidly around the tank until he is out of her site or he hides. I noticed today that the weaker clown's color has faded. He is a duller shade of orange then when I first got them. They both are eating well. Is this normal behavior? Is it normal for a clownfish's color to fade? I'm worried that the weaker one is going to die.
