Will this Regal colour up?

[Willbiker]

Hi all.

I asked my partner to collect 2 fish from my LFS which we had picked the day before, one of which was a 2.5 inch regal tang. It had wonderful deep blue colour all over, top to bottom. However my partner picked up a different one, not the one we picked!

Anyway, the one she collected has quite a pale lower half, certainly not lovely deep blue all other like the one I chose. Its now in my QT tank.

Do you think it will colour up or do you think its pale bottom half will remain? I'm wondering if I should take it back or wait untill its comfortable and settled to see if it colours fully. What do you think? See attached pictures.

Fish can change color and it vary by the minute... if they are not stressed then the color with be vibrant and deep blue. Let that fish settle in and being in a qt it probably wont have good color until its in your display...
