Default Clown Goby - losing color?

Hello all,

I have a 5g, live rock, cleaner crew, clownfish and clown goby. Just added some coral 2 days ago for the first time. Everything seems happy, even the clown, until this morning. His color seems to be fading... not sure if there's a problem or not. All levels (nitrates, nitrites, ph, ammonia, alk) were perfect 2 days ago.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

this might help... I've been working out the feeding. It's been once a day alternating between flake and frozen brine shrimp. I can't say the Goby has been eathing much. He seems to mustly nip at the rock.

How long have you had the goby, and how long has it's feeding habit been like this? Sounds like a nutrition problem to me.
