niger trigger lost color

Hello i am new to the salt game..
but i have a picasso and a niger trigger along with some clowns in my tank.. i went to feed them tonight.. everyone is fine out eating then the niger comes out.. and most of his black color.. has turned almost a pale purple.. does anyone know of this problem...?

 

Chances are it's a natural color change brought about by feeding time. When I had a niger, this frequently happened. He always changed back. Hope yours does too.

welcome Tizzy! FYI many fish will change colors be it due to stress, excitement, illness, and many other variables. usually when you put in a new tank-mate it is very likely they will change colors, mostly due to the stress of a new habitat. and if you ever get further down the road with corals, they will often shift colors under different lighting.

 

thx for the welcomes and info...
i guess i like the more aggressive fish.. haha but my tank is a swim tank... im just glad my trigger is ok...
does anyone know if dog faced puffers n triggers can get along ?
