imperator start to loss coloration (pic)

[bar]

My imperator angel fish start to loss coloration
Does any one know way?
He is in my tank for a couple of year and always look fine.

The only change that I have made is adding a huge Acanthurus olivaceus (Orangespot surgeonfish)

let me just add, that the fish is acting normaly as allways.

Some picture of the fish from today.

it could be maturing and going through a color change, or it could be a lack of nutrition

That doesn't look like a maturing color change.

He is an adult imperator for more then 2 years

I had the same problem and my emperor is just about dead. Check your water, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. He is turning white bc he is stressed out.

My water is OK
All the other fish looks and feels fine
The emperor is eating and behaving as usually.
All of my corals (sps) look fine so I don't think its something with the water.

Look at the picture I have taken recently:

is this new fish possibily picking on him? Have you seen any aggression?

There is def, something not right as he looked great in the last pic from a few months before.

The olivaceus is not picking on him.
In fact the emperor is the leader of the aquarium,
And beside the color change nothing has changed.
I feed them as usual (brine shrimps, seaweeds, new life spectrum, and more…)
