I've had my clown fish for about 3 months now they look healthy everyday when I look at them but for some reason every night after I turn of the lights about 1hr I check on them there eyes look all dilated and have there faces white I know for sure they do not have brooklynella its been going on for 2 days but when I first got them it was the same thing but was the other way around meaning every time I turned on the lights.. I would take pictures but my camera is crap..hard to see but I got a picture from Google to show a little what I'm trying to talk about PS: this happens when they go to sleep seems like they bump in to each other ..

That is pretty normal for all species of fish....after the lights go out, coloring becomes muted (and sometime changes all together i.e. Rabbitfish)
 
Most fish generally change color when they go to sleep....some get darker and some get lighter....it has to do with the lighting reaction with the pigmentation of the scales/skin from what I understand.
