Guys, this is a good thing because when you bought those anemones they were bleached.
Inside of your anemones and in many other corals lives zooanthalae algea, this is what causes them to "glow" green or red in color under low frequency lighting. (actinic) Sometimes during transport or because of poor water conditions an anemone will expel its zooanthalae algea from its mouth. This "browing" of color you are witnessing is just the algae growing back. It usually appears as spots, but will gradually grow over the whole creature leavng it healthy and vibrant.
Zooanthalae is important for the well being of your anemones because they will actually feed on it in times when external food is scarce. Keep them well fed and they will return to the natural beauty you will find in the wild.
Cheers!
