Hello, i’m concerned about my frost bite clown, he’s in with a Wyoming white and the white one has grown much faster, i’m not concerned about size but how the frostbite is looking, he’s pretty skinny and getting black or darker spots on him, i’m adding some photos to this. (ignore the closed corals i turned on the light just to take photos of the clowns )

The white clown is almost double the size of him although it’s hard to tell in the photo.

Frost whoops , and okay cool i just wanted to be sure, i don’t want him to die. I have a larger black clown i could swap him with but dont wanna stress them too bad unless necessary
 
Typically the more dominant fish, the female, steals most of the food causing the male to grow slower. It does look a bit thin but not that bad, try feeding more or target feeding the male.
The black spots are likely just coloration changing with age. They could also be stings from corals/anemones from trying to be hosted.
