Purple tang

[littlefoxx]

Hey all Ive had this purple for a month now. Great health and in general just a beautiful fish! I got new lights and its more white than blue and I noticed his black stripes just stop and he is a solid purple down to his yellow tail. Is this anything I need to worry about?

beautiful coloration and looks like a Red Sea version. Assure it gets a proper diet and hiding spots. Some foods to feed are :
LRS herbivore diet
Formula 2 flake and frozen
TDO Pellets
small plankton
Hikari Marine cuisine
Ocean nutrition veggie diet
spirulina brine shrimp
mysis shrimp
Prime reef
Nori seaweed basted with garlic extract

Add selcon vitamins to foods occasionally

That is what they look like. As they age, the spots can fade or disappear some. I have one going on 18-20 years and the spots are nearly all gone now.
