Yellow Tangs look strange

[Adam13]

Hi! After unbagging the new tangs, I think something is wrong with the yellow tangs. The achilles looks great, but the yellows are very dark. I mean really oddly dark. Can someone please let me know if this is normal for new arrivals?

Thanks

 

[Adam13]

Maybe exposure to uv led could do that to them?

Most likely they're darker in color due to stress of being transported

How long should it take for them to "yellow up" before I get worried. Here is a pic so you can see what I mean. The great news is the achilles looks amazing.

I've never seen a fish change colour that much. I was half expecting them to look almost like a scopaz. They almost look like black tangs. Could there have been a mix up with your order?

Wow lucky you! You my friend got a black tang because of its "longnose"

Whaaaaaaaaa

Dude, u hit the jackpot! Somebody messed up and sent you black tangs instead of the yellow you ordered. This never happens to me, lol let me put one in my tank and see if it turns yellow

Wow must be something going around the vendors this week.

I ordered a flame wrasse and they sent me 2!

Unless a yellow is able to change colors from stress and matched the only other color in the bag, the achilles black.

WOW... I doubt they sent you 3 black tangs... they go for like $900 each in some places.

Those are definitely 3 black tangs. Talk about hitting the jackpot!!

 

[Intricateart]

Just wondering why pay $900 for a plain black fish. Don't get me wrong,I love tangs.

Yep, those are black tangs alright. Bluish fins, white peduncle. That's 2700 dollars worth of fish in that bucket, not counting the Achilles.
