Green/Blue Chromis changing colors

[xyousefb]

Hello,

So I bought this new Chromis and it seems to be changing colors somehow. Is that normal?

Right now it’s in the QT tank. When I came back home and turned on the lights, it looked like this:

It had strange patches on it.

After a while, it regained its color and those patches were completely gone. It seems that these patches come out when it’s sleeping.

Have a look at what it looks like when I saw it after a while:

Should I be worried or is this some sort of natural behavior?

I think it's just stressed/faded. Once you get it in your DT under normal lighting it will probably look normal.

It may be is diet. I've heard of other fish losing their color because they are missing something important in their diets.
