Disappearing blotch

[Captain Bucket]

5" imperator angel, had this guy about 8 months. Seems very healthy except I noticed this faded blotch on his right flank this AM.

Tonight blotch is gone. Any ideas what's up?

Sometimes skin loses its color temporarily. From the picture eveything looks okay. I've seen this before. Stress can cause it.
