since i bought my atlantic blue tang he has started changing from his nice blue color to a pale yellowish color and sometimes it looks like he has ich all over him but he eats fine doesnt seem uncomfrontable just the color changing is bothering me do you think maybe he was a juvinelle of some other tang ???

actually, if the tang just changed coloration from juvenile to a mature fish, stress can cause the fish to change back temporarily. its no big deal, but since this is a sign of stress, you should keep a look out for ick.
