more filter media and I saw this for sale..

this didn't have a label.

I was intrigued by this one because it it all white but changed it color when it went to the wall.

what is it?

Some sort of naso tang it looks like

Its missing the tail defence barb if it was a tang like this guy -google white scopas tang and there should be a reef article that wont hyperlink. but still a unique looking fish. To me it has a hawk fish like stance and appearance, and its color change is more than likely a result of stress in the new enviroment.

I looked on my iPhone where I can easily zoom in and the tail blades are there, they are just very white like the rest of the fish.

It's definitely a naso tang, just very stressed out and most likely dead already by the time you read this.

naso vlamingi, we had a few smaller ones at work that did that when you would clean the tanks, then as soon as your hand left the tank, they would turn back to normal color and follow you as you walked away
