I looked in my tank this morning, and my red mandarin goby has a bleached out spot on his abdomen towards the back end of the right side of his body towards the back tail fin. But he’s still swimming around and eating as normal, and he is very healthy and plump. What could this be? I couldn’t figure out how to add a picture in here.?

Uronema?? Have you added any recent fish or caused stress in any way?
I have not added any new fish, but I did have a tang with it that I had to remove. I have a green Mandarin also and about two weeks ago. They were really playing like really closely like swimming around in circles together and getting like right up next to each other like if they were meeting, so I was hoping it was something better than a problem
