Maroon gold stripe,

[Trixter227]

I have had this clown fish for about 2 years. The stripes were gold when i got him, he was bullied by a purple psudochromis(padon my spelling) few tank problems since the clown was only thing left. Lost the gold strip turned into like reflective silver, now a year later i have added a tailspot blenny i see the gold slowly comeing back almost fadeing in from the center of the stripes. Since its been comeing back i see the aggressive behavior that everyone talks about. Any ideas why it came and now comes back??

Fish will fade colors when under stress. When they are not stressed their color will come back. You see this sometimes with fish changing color at night when the lights are off.

I agree with @reefwiser's statement. It's like the most reasonable explanation.
