Mottled Chromis

[kmbyrnes]

My wife was checking the tank this AM and noticed this Chromis is all mottled.
Its still sleeping/hiding. The others I could find looked like they do in daylight.
Is this normal, like a Foxface or Tang changing color for the night, or something to be concerned about?

What kind of Chromis is this? Blue/Green? The splotches look yellow in the pic.

Yes, Blue/Green.
Sorry about the pic, iPhone in a dark tank with a flashlight.
Color is washed out. Looks pretty normal now that it is daylight.

Is he new? Keep a close eye out for Uronema marinum with new chromis.

He has been in the DT for 6 months.
I had read about Uronema this AM but this looks more like nighttime camouflage.
Thanks for asking.
