whitish/grey patches along YWG's back

Hi,

my yellow watchman goby has been in my tank for nearly 2 months now. 3 days ago i noticed two strips of white/grey color along the fish's back, on either side of his dorsal fin, about an inch long and 1/4" wide. Is this a nutrition-related condition? I suspect this first, because the YWG is not very aggressive during feeding times. I always work to squirt food down to him, but he's almost never eating a lot. I feed a homemade mix of fresh sea-meats and roe, along with Formula 1&2, misis shrimp, or cyclop-eeze.

or, do you think the fish scraped his back against a rock, trying to squeeze in somewhere? I'm keeping an eye on him, and hoping he continues to eat. Just wondering if anyone here has seen something like this before.

Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your YWG? Mine is going through the same thing and I'm having no luck finding info. Thanks.
