Hard water stains or a fungus? I don't like how it's above his eyes too. My other two look OK.

Hard water but on the plastron, the flaking scute makes it look worse.

Beautiful little face!
Is that pink on the plastron or just the lighting?

The pink you have is fine. Slightly pink from fast growth Or just growth in general.
