Could you Please help to identify these clownfish; they were purchased as Ocellaris and were a beautiful bright orange at half and inch; now almost 2” they have turned black;
I specifically only wanted the orange and although they look ok, still am disappointed since not a fan of the designer clownfish.

does anyone know if water conditions or diet can lead to changes in coloration?

I suppose for $5 a fish I shouldn't complain

It could be a Darwin ocellaris clownfish strain which is not a designer type of clown. They come naturally that way from the wild. Diet is not going to make them change back. Also depending on what they host, they can also change colors.
 
Oh ty; will research the Darwin type
 
Black ocilleris but could also be black photon
