Default sick clown fish?

So I have 2 Black Clowns (tank bred) picked them up from Big Als about a week ago now and today I noticed on both of them the first fin on the top is becoming almost clearish in colour.

They are still eatting and swimming around just fine, nip each other a bit but not very often the QT tank is 20gal and they have lots of space to roam, theres also a bunch of LR rubble in the bottom of the tank just so its not bare.

Any idea what could be wrong with them?

It could be a bit of fin rot,from a bacterial infection,you could use something like melafix for bacterial infections,it's worked great for me in the past,if your water parameters are good in your QT it could go away on it's own.
