Just from what I can see. The change in coloration is behavorial, a mood change in some fish can result in a color change, so can stress.

That's exactly right
the damsels are known to have dramatic color changes at times when they are under stress (like when one is picking on another the agressor will often stay blue while the other turns dark)
