Interesting. The dot doesn't have to be moving either. If you pause the display by holding your mouse on the window titlebar, and look, the pink still disappears.

 

I think it's our brains nooise-filtration system as the dots look a lot like what you see when you dazzle your eyes.

Off the top of my head, the pink dot appears green because of an after image effect from the retinal cells the image is hitting. When you stare at the dots, you get retinal exhaustion which causes the dots to then start disappearing

 

EDIT: because i'm stupid
