As Seppii said, it could be stressed out. Severums do tend to fluctuate between light and dark shades of their colors very often (whether its mood or stress/health). Some days my super reds look so pale they appear to be pink and other days they appear to be this brilliant hot rod red.

Like I said, they are like mood rings. The shade of their color can go from one extreme to the other in minutes. I personally have not encountered white severums, though I have encountered plenty of very pale gold severums.

It's a gold severum. They come in different grades. Sometimes they will yellow up as they age but others will stay white with yellow fins. If you feed them foods with astaxanthin they'll sometimes turn a buttery yellow color.
