Did you just turn the lights on? Mandarins will lose their color at night most of the time, if your lights just came on then wait about 30 min and it should be back to normal.

If he consistently is looking ike he's losing color, it means he's dying. The same thing happened to mine. He started losing color and then a few weeks later he died.
If possible, go to your LFS and see if they have copepods you can buy... it's really their only food source, and he's probably depleted your tank of them. You can also order copepods online.

this is most likely your problem.. well its not a problem, but when they are sleepy they get all washed out.
Good Luck
