My goby did this as well, I thought something was wrong with him. I was able to find a few threads, and people seemed to think that they will change colors depending on the tank. He has been in my tank for about 1.5 months, he changed color after about a day. He acts normal; eats, swims, etc. I would like to know if there is something I can do to get his color back as well.

edit: here is a pic of mine....

Yes, that's supposedly a common color change for the females. Not as pretty as the males, IMO.
