Yellow Tang - White Stripe

[Delb0y]

Hi Guys,

Do Yellow Tangs have white stripes down the centre of the body. I never noticed it before. I bought the fish over a month ago, isolated it for 2 weeks and placed it in the main tank just before new year, never noticed it.
It's a single stripe on both sides of the body approx 1/4 high and 2 inches long.

Any thoughts !!!!!!!

Just stress marks.

When really stressed out I have seen yellow tangs loose most of their color, almost white all over.

Also when lights first come on each day, you will notice the white streaks.

Nothing to worry over.

HTH
