Damsel turns Pale

Hey Guys,

Was just curious to why my Damsel turns pale when the lights go out.

Its night camo, and most fish loose color, go blotchy, or change their color entirely when the tank gets dark. Nighttime on the reef in the wild is a good time to get eaten and this is one of the defenses that reef fish employ.
