Chevron tang

[asm2787]

I have a juv. Chevron tang in my 120 reef setup. I've had the tank setup for a little over a year now. I also have a purple tang and a pair of black ice clowns. They've been together for 5 to 6 months now and all doing well. Eating mysis krill algae and ageis flake. But it seems in the last month the Chevron who is 2-3 inches lost its beautiful color and is mostly dark all day. Any suggestions maybe something I'm doing wrong? Doesn't seem like the purple bothers him there always fine together.

Did the chevron change to its adult coloration? You can see the difference on live aquaria.

No i researched and seen the difference once in a while it's bright orange and blue is bright but 80% of the time he is dark

i think it's normal. i have one too, he gets darker sometimes.

How do you feel on dipping food in garlic? I heard it suppose to give better colors?

i only feed garlic when ich is present, or when a fish is not eating well.
