Smile Clownfish Have Changed Color

I have 2 Clownfish Amphiprion ocellaris. One is about 2 1/2 inches long the other about 1 1/2 inches long. I feed them frozen fresh and cooked shrimp, frozen clam meat, frozen salmon, frozen deer heart(out of that right now),NutriDiet Marine flakes and OMEGA ONE Shrimp Pellets and Algae flakes. When I received them they were orange now they are brown. The white color is as bright as ever. Any suggestions. They eat well and act fine.

They could be maturing and it's complete normal.

Frozen deer heart? I think that's the first time I've heard that one.

It's what clownfish naturally eat out in the wild. Everyone knows that!

Some varieties of Clownfish do change color as they mature.
Your larger one will be a female and the smaller male. All Clownfish start out as male and the larger one will turn to female. If the female dies, the next larger will turn female.
