I take it that is a watchman goby you are talking about. Many fish become either pale or dark colored at bedtime. It is nothing to worry about if they return to the normal coloration once active for awhile.

While this isn't a watchman, it still shows the drastic color change that certain fish make a night time (( It is a golden algae blenny ))
