Just saw this white tang for the first time. Someone said it would sell for $10K!!

I wonder what they call the black tang...lol.

(no need to offer suggestions)

They call it a longnose tang.

I thinks this fish looks like a leucistic yellow tang or something. Incredibly cool nonetheless! Cause that does not happen often.
(Just to clarify: "Leucism is a condition characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals and humans. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin." -Wiki)

Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,

Chris,

that's a very interesting idea.

It must have something to do with the lights being blue as they don't show it under normal white lights!

There's another yellow tang in there for colour reference. I thought the same thing until I saw the other one.

Maybe the Tang is just Bleached :P
haha

Poor guy, i'm sure Zeovit has a supplement to bring its yellow back.

LOL! to much light.

I think I saw that a while ago on.....ReefBuilders? I'm pretty sure the guy's not for sale :)

If you look in David saxby's tank he has a whole bunch of piebald (Yellow, black and white) yellow tangs - but none of them are stunning like Casper!

Does anyone know if that's actually a separate species, or is it just a super rare colour variant of the yellow?

It's "just" a variant of yellow. If it was a separate species, we'd see a lot more of them :)
