what zemuron114 said is correct, they will get splotchy while sleeping or stressted. is he eating?

yes he's eating good and yes the yellow tang that is in the tank with him does seem to be territoral (spelling)do I need to make more holes in the rock so he can hide or be by him self or will they get along after a while thank's for helping me need all the help I can get thanks

not to go tang police on ya, but your amost already pushing it with the yellow tang, the orange shoulder gets to be quite large and needs more than 4 ft of swimming room.

it is most probaby stress, unless your going to a 6ft or larger tank son, you really should look for a new home for him.

getting a larger tank later on so space will come soon but thanks for the help
