I have had my fox face for 2 days now and I have noticed that for the past 2 mornings he has had what appears to be ich on his fins. When I see the "ich" on his fins he is also in his camouflage. Later on in the day the ich or white dots are completely gone. This has happened both days that I have had him.
 
Sounds like you have a stressed out fish with ich, rather than its 'camouflage'. When fish are stressed, they will dull in color. You will also only be able to see the cyst phase of ich. When the cysts burst, the parasite falls into the sandbed where it matures before swimming up to find a host again.
