Yellow tang with an orange spot

Ducky · 09-19-2007, 04:33 PM

hi,
I was in a fish store and was watching the yellow tangs. One had almost a "thumb print" but smaller of orange on the body near the tail.
Is this just coloration or is it a sign of injury? Many tangs were ther and this is the only one with this orange "spot". I have not seen this before.
thanks,
ducky

Could be an injury or a possible bacterial infection. A clear photo of it would be nice. Run down there and snap a pic of it!

Ive seen yellow tang with that blotch of orange before, it was when we got them direct from hawaii shipments.....

Any Yellow tang with an orange color morph would be extremely rare and valuable, thus most likely would not be coming into just any LFS. Chances are it was injured or as Doni suggested a bacterial infection.

Woody, I see why you want a photo.

A photo and the tele # of the store please

(um, what was the # of the store?)

no really though, they really had a darker yellow, about orange little streak on/near the middle of the body. I am serious, and its not a bacterial infect.
