I will attach a few pictures of Brookynella the disease in which you are acquiring about. i really hope this is not what you have. once the clowns get this fish it is a quick killer.

If it were brook the fish would be acting sick and it is a fast acting disease. Sounds like they may just be morphing color. I would just watch them and as long as they are eating and active they should be fine.

Mine are in that phase right now too. How old are you clowns? My true percs are just over a year.
