Do you mean faded spots of color? My Gold Line gets that too. I think it's because of the usual reason for discoloration: Stress.
Mine gets that if I scare it or disturb it in any way. When my turtle attacked him over the summer, he had those all over him for weeks, and then they eventually went away. As far as I'm aware, it isn't serious.

It is more or less in relation to the plecs mood. Some of mine do it when it's dinner time.

OK. Thanks guys. I just have noticed it every now and then and was curious. Thanks again for the help.
