she changes colour every time she comes to this place, I've heard that in wild specimens, they are able to change colour and pattern to make it look like they are the other sex to avoid conflict with the dominant

Yeah, it's rather a camouflage against other animals, because this seems to bee a bright spot out in the open. Fish generally change to brighter colours then. Plus "Sneaker males" don't mimik the breeding dress of the females, as they want to avoid attention from the dominant male.
