Sargassum Triggerfish colour?

[Jimbob.]

Hi all,

I currently have a Sarg in QT, he has been in there for 2 weeks and spent 4 weeks in my LFS and he looks very healthy and active.

There is little info around about Sarg's however. He was green when i got him, research told me this is how they start out as Juvenile's to blend in with Sargassum weeds.

In the 2 weeks since i got him he has gone from a very deep Olive colour to a grey one. Admittedly he is only under daylight PC bulbs but is this the beginnings of him changing colour?

Thanks!

I didn't know that they started out olive green. That's cool. I got mine at about 3.5 inches and he was already grey with the redish tail.
