Fish lost its color...Why?

[sohal1025]

My Midas Blemmy has lost almost all of its bright orange color in the past couple of days. All parameters are all in order on everyone else and corals are fine. Anyone know why this might happen??????

was it a rapid loss of color, or a gradual loss of color. A rapid loss could possibly be stress. Did you add anthing new? Any massive water changes etc. If it was a gradual loss, I'd look to diet. My .02, any one else?

It was more sudden, Within a few days. I did just add a trigger and a coral beauty but I have not seen any bother of them at all.

Could be stress. Does the fish eat/act normal? Is it's behavior the same as before adding the other fish? Still hanging out in the same areas etc?

What kind of trigger?

My guess is the trigger might be stressing it out. Triggers are pretty aggressive predators.

It was a Niger Trigger. The coral beauty bother the clown alot.
Everything else seems normal.(even their eating appetite)
