Default Clown and Flame angel turning dark

Hello everyone.

I have a Flame angel in my 55 gallon that started getting this black hue to its orange color. It looks exactly like you took the fish and misted it with fine spray from a spraypaint can. Darker on the top while fading to bright orange near the middle of the fish with pure orange (the natural color of the fish) from the middle down. When I added my Clown from my other tank he got the same dark hue to its body.
Do you understand what I meen about being spraypainted?

I cant get a good pic of this yet but will keep trying.

A little more history. I have been battling ICK in this tank since before christmas. I did the remove all fish thing for 45 days while treating the fish in QT tank but after 2 months the ick is coming back occationally. little by little with worse outbreaks lately. My main question is what is the dark coloration not how to treat ICK.

Thanks everyone
Jay
