You could give him a freshwater dip and see if anything falls off.

It's not flukes; but I'm not sure whether it could be a bacterial infection or just discoloration when the lights are off.

Is he white looking all day long?

 

[Eddie Rogers]

he like that all day

Discoloration can also be parasite damage in the gills. Do you quarantine and treat all fish?

If not there’s nearly 100% chance it had ich or velvet these days unfortunately
