I’ve had him for close to a year. When I first got him he was a normal blue face koi tang. He was sold as a tri color.

After being in the new system for a couple of weeks he’s turning into this……..he’s gotten so much yellow in him and gets more and more everyday!

I’m excited to see where he ends up.

My question is what causes this and is this an indication of anything health wise?

Tricolour Scopas tangs tend to change colour regularly. They can be brought as a beautiful specimen and then randomly go back to being a normal scopas or even gain more colour. Not much is known about this mutation however it’s likely to be a virus that doesn’t harm the fish.

Beauty fish! How much did you pay and where did you get him?
 
Poor think looks like the victim of a cartoon explosion.
 
if you ever think of selling it, let me know.
 
any updates on the colours?
