My tank levels are good, all my other fishes are perfect (including my other tang). Woke up to see my sailfin discolored. I've had this fish in my tank for a little over 2 months now. What can cause this to happen?

The photo doesn't capture it all too well. Near the end of its body, it's lightened a couple of shades.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer
Votes: 6 12.2%
It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it
Votes: 7 14.3%
It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
