is it normal for an atlantic blue tang to turn white? or is there something wrong with that picture?

its common for tangs to loose color at night. once the light come on they should darken up. but they will also loose color when they get stressed as well. so check your water, and keep an eye on him.

I have also noticed that different type of lighting has an effect of the coloring of some fish too.
