Radiant Wrasse Not So "Radiant"?

So I picked up a Radiant wrasse yesterday and after acclimation he almost immediately buried himself in the sand. When I got home today he was out and about but he looks completely different like he has lost his color...in fact you can't see any yellow in his face (it's almost white) and where he's supposed to be a dark red in color he's what I would best describe as a pale rose...is this normal? Is he just adjusting to a new tank? He otherwise seems healthy and is swimming all over and picking at the rocks. Any input would be appreciated!!!

 

I bet he is just stressed from the acclimation, my fish really hate drip acclimation. Lol. I had a black clown acclimating and he was NOT black, haha more like greyish white. Im sure your fish will regain color in a few days if he if fed and not stressed

 

No worries, he is back to his normal coloration so it must have just been an acclimation thing...phew .
