I have an angel fish in my community tank(25 gallons), and it has black and silver stripes. Today though, I noticed the area around it's head had turned from silver to a orangeish looking color. The fish itself seems very active and very healthy(As do all the other fish in the tank, none of which have any sort of color change, at least not yet), and I tested my ammonia, nitrate and nitrite levels, and they're all fine.

The fish it still relatively young and small(by angelfish standards), as it's only about 2 inches long or so. Is this something that happens sometimes to Angels as they mature, or could this possibly be a sign of trouble?
 
Many silver angels will get an orange or rust color to the crown as they mature, this is normal.
