Biota Yellow Tang still white

[gtrider]

Hi People!

I ordered a biota yellow tang from liveaquaira. He's/she is on day 3 in QT and still very white in color. She/he is eating and isn't hiding from me/seems not to be scared. Is it normal that the fish is still pretty white?

Maybe you got one like @WWC has in their display.

The YT will color up as it grows. The fry are transparent and don't start to show any color until around 60 days of age. Biota had some really young YTs at MACNA last year that were clear/transparent. Thank you for your order!
