Default Dominoe Damsel Colour loss

Hi a few days ago we added a Bubble tip anemone to our tank which a dominoe damsel hosted in. It started to lose its colour going to a pale grey colour. He is a adult damsel. Since the a new maroon clown has taken over the anemone. But the Damsel has not regained its colour completely and goes through periods of losing its colour. Prior to the time of being in the anemone he had been aggressive he appears to have lost this trait. He also started acting almost drugged and very skittish almost like on a high!
He has not settled down yet 24 hrs after not having contact with the anemone. The maroon clown is not chasing the dominoe or aggressive to it. Any ideas??????????????????????

How long have you had the domino? they lose their color when they get bigger and they do grow very fast.

No the Dominoe wasn't in the Anemone when we got from the shop. He moved in when we put the anemone in the tank. He was then ousted by the Marroon Clown. It was in the time he started hosting in the anemone that he started acting strange.
The Dominoe has been in the tank about 2 years. He still goes back to his normal colouring but he looks like he is skittish or even having mild fits. I realise he could be stressed from being ousted from the anemone but he was only in it 2 days. I was wondering if he had overdosed on the stings from the bubble tip anemone.
