    So I picked this fish up the other day or other week. I drove from maine to florida to buy the koi tang at WWC and this fish has more whote but still blotchy. The only true yellow is the fins. I figured id share and I dont believe that its eating or nutrion but more a color issue. This fish is at least 5 in and very health and eats like mad. I have been feeding veggies and mysis and its more ****e then the bad cam pics but wanted to share.

    i really like that morph they are pretty rare and go for quite a bit depending on the paleness. My LFS has one almost as pale as that hombre, neat find!

    I know what it was when I saw it. I have been seeking rare fish and seen a couple of these. I paid 34 bucks for it and its nearly pure white and they had no clue what they had. I know its a rare fish its fat so I know its not its diet. Its a cool fish and its very close to the koi tang with its spots that I went to WWC to look at.

    My LFS had a xanthic Scopas once for 15$, but I could not provide an adequate home for it...
