It is normal, they do that once the light go on, or if they are stressed, you are cycling your tank with fish and that could be the reason.

Mine turn white when I turn the light on, when I do PWCs, and any time I put my hands in the tank lol

Same here
 
I had read somewhere that it was normal, just making sure! :) Mine does the same thing... it is normally after the light has been turned on, when I stick my hand in the tank, or while I'm doing the water changes.. Thanks guys! :)
