Unique Coloring on Blue Hippo Tang

[camaroracer214]

just curious to see how rare/unique this was. the black coloration goes all the way to the mouth. i've never seen the black go down this far and i used to work for a lfs for a pretty good while. i couldn't even find anything similar in google images.

It is zorro the masked tang. Seriously though I have seen a couple with a black nose stripe none that I remember being this distinct or bold but I have seen somewhat similar. Is it on both sides of the head or just the one?

I have seen it in you tube videos, some have even more black. It's funny though they were all in big tanks with multiple blues exp. a regular one like this with the black face and then a yellow belly, guess it's a collector thing LOL

Heard that if they are from Srilanka or around that area they have the black face. Don't know how true this is.
