If it's a solid white line that looks much like a "road stripe", it's part of the fish's anatomy and nothing to be concerned about. When frightened, at night or when in an aggressive posture, the tang will lighten enough to see it.

Does it look similar to the white line running down the center in this pic?

Cheers
Steve
