is there any relation in color to the age of a coral beauty. we just got one and he is very bright orange and mainly blue on the fins most i have seen are much more blue. he's pretty cool, kind of like a chevron tang. very active fish, seems like he will make a great addition after [acronym:390e860252="quarantine or quart depending on context"]QT[/acronym:390e860252]

I think they get a lighter blue and denser orange color as they age. There is also a dimorphism depending on the regioned collected from.

Cheers
