That’s interesting because this is contrary to what I have seen in the wild while diving. I have not witnessed any difference in color. I there has been documented color difference in the black marking while clowns in non native anemones.
I will still document my process and see if there is a difference with using a “color” enhancing food.

I just re-read the thread and to answer your question about Spectrum Ultra Red, I've been feeding it to one of my Onyx pairs for a few months and I don't see a difference. There's still a night and day difference between my captive bred and wild onyx pair, so I still think nature does the best job and can't be beat.

In fact I've had clowns actually lose black color while hosted by BTA's(unnatural match) and then regain black once back in a natural host. As for tank bred, it's no different from choosing a quality breeder for puppies/cats, there will be those that care and those that inbreed for a buck, gotta be selective is all. It took me about a year of searching(and w/ help looking ) to find what I believe to be a perfect pair.

Lots of things influence fish color:
(1) Genetics (2) Diet (3) Environment (a) Lighting

I apologize... I wrote a long post about color in fish... and then something happening and only the first 3% or so posted.
Sadly I am too tired to re-type what I wrote Perhaps another night
