Brown Live Rock

Hi Internet,

Im new to keeping saltwater fish have a juwel rio 180 set up with 3 live rocks from fiji which were about 8kg in total.

They have been in there a week now but are going brown now.

The Ammonia and Nitrate are 0 and ph 8.2 @ 24/25c

Currently there is two cleaning shrimp which have also been in there a week with the live rock and are thriving shedding skin etc.

Question:

1. Is this browning of the live rock normal?

2. Can I start stocking now say two small clowns?

3. How do I go about keeping a anemone?

Many Thanks!
