I’m not sure if maybe I just haven’t noticed this but can anybody help me figure out if this is normal coloration for a Scopas tang

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

That's not normal, but it just looks like a series of scrapes.

Can you post a longer video, taken under white lights?

Have you seen this fish scratching/flashing on surfaces?
How long have you had the fish?

I too se scrape marks and can be from rock work or flukes. Lighting is very dark. Please post video using bright white light intensity, no blue lights
