I assume you mean what you can see in the 2nd picture. They seem okay to me. Moorii do go through some markings transformations as they mature. I have noticed that juveniles often have some faint red spots in the tail, that are not noticable in adults. The anal fin may have some phantom eggspots that disappear. Many Malawi "Haps" and Aulonocara do have some anal fin markings that come and go, these are the residual eggspots that their ancestors once had, they are all Haplochromines.
