Atlantic Blue Tang

Has anyone had one of these from a juvy to adult? Got mine about a year ago as a juvy all yellow, I'm not sure if he is changing yet or not as his yellow on the top of his back is turning very dull an ashen almost gray.
It seems very healthy still as he hasn't changed his eating or swimming habits.

Thanks,
Jim

I love them, their acually one of my favorite tangs and yes mine took 2 months to change over, the ashy look is them just starting to grow up. Its common they could take up to about 6 months to change but enjoy!

I have. Was solid yellow when he was tiny and then got the blue edge on the dorsal fin....that was my favorite stage. He's now solid blue and a great fish
