fishy fashion police

This morning, fed a bit of cyclopese, as usual, Sailfin and Percula had some. I started getting food for the two fish and suddenly the Tang puffed up, went way behind rock, Perc followed, they were acting freaked out! They are piggy fish and never miss eating. Thought something was really wrong. They were only acting like that when I moved in front of tank. Remembered reading a thread once, wild guess that it may have been bright red shirt I had on. I never wear bright colors, not my thing. Changed shirt to neutral color, oh yeah, happy, hungry fish!!
