Never seen one but hybrid tangs are on the rise
Interesting. He just goes from looking like a regular one to this coloration (which is his normal, he looked like that in the other guy’s tank too) to having gold on his fins. He is a strange tang lol

They change color with mood. White when scared/ hiding, dark when aggressive, with several in between...
Yeah his normal is this white color. Ive seen him go dark when he was mad at another fish but the pale is his norm. The guy even showed me a picture of him as a juvenile with the same faded colors. His fins are gold but his body just has like no stripes. He is just a weird colored sailfin

Interestingly enough when I added the large hippo he changed to this coloring and has been this color for a few days now.

This is what they do. It's a interesting fish for certain. Watch him, you will learn to know his mood by what colors he chooses to display. To me, white is scared

Interesting. I added a very large hippo tang to the tank and his colors shifted to this. He hasnt been his white color in a little bit. But maybe that was because his previous tank was wayyy to small for him and the stress of his previous owner catching him and them me moving him to this tank was what stressed him out and now he is comfortable? I love his colors now. Stunning fish
