My hippo has changed

[trido]

Boy has it ever. I have seen fish change colors from stress, lighting maturity and other things in the past. I am really suprized at how much and how quickly this little tang has changed. It may be fully black in a few more months at this rate. Sorry for the quality of the newest pics. It wouldnt hold still.

And yes, the female maroon clown is near black too.

Those colors on the hippo are pretty. Maybe he will stay like that..

I think it is pretty cool. The pics dont do its new royal blue justice. I think it would be cool for it to turn all black with yellow fins.

Maybe it will be worth money. :lol:

That is a really cool color change. I didn't think those changed! Looks very nice. By the way, what is that pink coral in the back ground - my girlfriend is asking.

Pink stylophora with blue polyps (cats paw). Here is a link to a nice pic of it from November. http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=97094

Hey Trido, I've seen this happen more recently with hippo tangs. I wonder if a particular variant of this species is showing up in the trade. They're really cool

I agree, looks very cool! Sort of like a black mohawk!
