Could someone tell me if this is a parasite, disease, fungus, etc. Slightly pale/pink-ish blot on the belly between the two pelvic fins. It seems the scales are "peeling" away from the skin almost like how dry skin would for a person.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

It could be Uronema.

In order to make a more informed determination of what this is, it helps to have more background on the fish, tank history, etc.

Here is a link to some information about the helpful information for us:
