When I got my Betta, Harvey Dent, I thought the white spot on his face was just a cool color variation, but it keeps growing and is starting to worry me. I read about marble bettas but wasn't sure that is what this is.
I hope he is okay, he's a great fish. He's like an excited puppy every time I come home and flip his light on because he knows it's feed time :P
