Colour and scales of ROYAL CK

[henward]

Hi there
i just got my RCK shipped to me
man! less than 10 mins it eats 2 chunks of shrimp and 1 massive chunk of beef lol. just wondeirng
when it arrived the spots were almost not there, but after awhile it started to re appear. but i noticed that the scales were slightly damaged probably with the net which is not uncommon but do the spots get brighter as it settles and recovers?

With most fish, it's probably stressed. Just give it a few days and if it's still faded, it might be sick.
