    So I have a 2.5in-3in Naso Tang. I've had him for about a month now, and for some odd Reason I just realized he has no Orange on him what so ever. (ventral and tail area) However he is bright yellow instead. All the pictures I see of Juvies are orange instead of yellow... Anyone familiar with this situation?

    I Understand fish have different variants of color between one and another... But no orange!?! lol

    Working on Pics at the moment!

    Eh, I would not worry one bit.

    It seems happy, and that does it for me.

    Plover , huh?

    I went to UWSP in the mid 90s and lived in Point until 2000.

    Oh weird :)... Yeah I am very familiar with those places :p.

    I just find it odd that he looks more like a Blonde Naso(minus the black dorsal fin) lol.

    I believe they are on him... Not a disease i dont believe... Its part of his camo, when i turn the lights on hes a dark greyish brown with white pokadots... He really doesnt seem to get rid of all the shading of the pokadots throughout the day... Its almost like I got a different species of naso or something :| He eats well... Very outgoing and friendly, will eat nori out of my hand... Isnt afraid of me when I do any work in the aquarium...

    Everyone has beautiful color in the aquarium.. and looks perfect cept him for some reason.

    well i think he looks pretty good.:) ive heard that white spots like that mean stress but how you describe his behavior cancels that out.
    im guessing thats just how he is colored.
