Has anyone seen this tang before?

I purchased it from a local reefer as a purple tang, but it is more of a dirty black with white fins. Here are some bad pics that show the coloration.

Whole tang

Looks like a B&W version of a purple tang.

That's what I think, but why is it black and white, and have you seen one before?

SDguy · 09/11/2007, 09:56 PM

Nope, never seen one myself. I've seen B&W versions of asfur angels, so why not the purple tang?

Is it healthy? Looks a little "patchy" in the pic....

Heres what the e-bay listing would look like

STEVE TYREE LIMITED EDITION BLACK HOLE TANG!!!!

SDguy, it doesn't have any HLLE and it's very fat, so I don't think anything is wrong with it, but who knows?
