Gramma looking funny

[bvanfish]

My gramma is swimming eating breathing normal but her scales almost look like they are getting worn down in spots. All other fish look great. This has been going on for a few weeks now so I don’t think it’s anything like brook or velvet as I assumed everything would be dead by now.

she flashes maybe 1x a time but she’s always done that so nothing new really.

I keep trying to get white light pics but she hiding.
You can see in the blue pic the almost white areas where her scales look worn?

No idea got her from dr reef but she is good sized. I’m wondering if they just gave me an old fish??

Grammas often lose color in captivity. They are also very prone to flukes, although I would have expected that would have shown up after a few months.
