Your Chocolate looks exactly like mine. Mine changes his pattern at night as well. I watch him a lot and even notice him changing his colors at different times during the day. Sometimes his body will be a dark purple to brown with no spot visible, other times his sides light up bright green with the spot and line visible. Such a great fish to watch, and the best personality of any fish I've owned. Here is a shot of my fish showing a very similar pattern to the one your fish is showing-
