My new white yellow tang (1 Viewer)

try an acclimation box for a temporary stay so that they get adjusted. Also sohal should be last tang
introduced their famous for attaching new inhabitants.

I introduced the baby sohal and yellow at the same time. I tried an acclimation but it didn’t work either.

As a last resort would trade him to reeftopia.

I think he's just bleached. Something about LED vs T5s. I would move him lower in the tank for less PAR to see if he colors up.

anemones can get bleached never seen a fish do that for more than a few hours

I may be slow but I be sure.

They can spontaneously turn yellow/partially yellow temporarily or permanently according to Victor at WWC (ReefStock 2018 talk).

Regardless, they are extremely expensive, because collectors don't seem to find/collect many, if any. You can easily re-home it to any of the MARSH members or sponsors.

I moved him to a lps tank that has low par and he has not got his yellow back yet.

Got some new pics of him under whites with no blues. He seems to have some charcoal black towards his tail.

Well if the lower PAR didn't work then maybe you should just tune your LEDs to cast yellow. I don't have my lucky color wheel handy, but maybe red and green makes yellow. There. That's the key to a yellow tang! Okay I'll stop. lol

Good looking fish regardless. At least it's unique.

Maybe we can breed your white to my black and get zebras.
