I know there are different types of food out there that claim to enhance fish color. Is there any way i can get my tang a awsome deep blue? or my sailfin with more popping colors, naturally? besides keeping them healthy etc.

Yeah...I always rinse the frozen food if you can. I use a brine shrimp net so nothing fall thru the mesh holes.

you can also add selcon to the food for a vitamin supplement for the fish, and for tangs, make sure they get lots of greenstuff, like dried algae sheets/Nori, maybe some macro from your refugium, if you have one, etc.
