Foxface "normal" coloration changing

>>klong<< · Feb 9, 2021

I picked up a One Spot Foxface about 3 weeks ago. When I got it, it was mostly yellow. Now I'm noticing that it is often has a darker stripe along it's side. It's spot has also changed shape. Is this normal? He goes through color changes all day, but the normal coloration seems to have that dark stripe.

Day 1. He took care of all my algae :)

Current. Sorry for the blues, but I think the difference is pretty noticable.

No help on the coloration but impressive he got all the algae in one day!

That was a day-1 photo. It took him 3 days to wipe out the algae. There was a bunch.

Fairly normal, they do this when they are stressed for whatever reason. Its a new home so it could be that.

Coloration can vary a lot ( one of cool things) stress getting spooked or just sleeping they go to camo mode. Fix face can be very skittish act like scaredy-cats at hardly any little thing at Keats in my xp
