Power Red Tang?

[BellaCoop]

I have been hearing about Powder Red Tangs. I have never seen one nor heard of one till recently. Are they a real thing or just a internet chat thing?

They were a hoax by reefkeping.com

Looks like a prank:
diet may consist primarily upon red vegetation, or perhaps a supplementary diet of Gem tang eggs, which would explain its unusual coloration.
