Welcome to Reef2Reef!

It depends. How long have you had the fish, what color is the feces and what are you feeding it?

I have had him about a year, brown, and feeding him Hikari seaweed extreme pellets. His behavior is normal, well, it has not changed :-)

I think that is normal for a tang being fed a lot of roughage like that. You might want to diversify the diet a bit, just in case the Hikari is lacking in some nutrient.
