Noticed Lenny’s face like this for a couple days. shes behaving/eating normally. I have seen one occasion of ‘suckling’ on GSP Polyps.

internet browsing led me to a few pages suggesting this can happen as a result of adjusting to a corals sting (in preparation of hosting)

Is this something to worry about ? The male clown is fine. It’s slightly worse than photo captures.

Looks ok to me. How old is the fish? Here is my female. Her and the male are 17 years old and their faces have started turning red in the last few years.

Thanks, its really hard to get a clear photograph. They are 2years old aprox (Your clownfish are nearly my age haha.)
 
Keep taking care of them and they will provide you with many years of enjoyment. Mine have been in 10+ different tanks, breed every 2 weeks and have zero fear of humans lol.
