I thinks this fish looks like a leucistic yellow tang or something. Incredibly cool nonetheless! Cause that does not happen often.
(Just to clarify: "Leucism is a condition characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals and humans. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin." -Wiki)

Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,

Chris

It must have something to do with the lights being blue as they don't show it under normal white lights!

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

There's another yellow tang in there for colour reference. I thought the same thing until I saw the other one.
