Could it be stress related from going frim lfs to my tank. Water.conditions are all good.
Are you talking about a white area in the middle of the body? If so it`s normal. My yellow tang that I had for 14 years had this lighter yellow area(almost white looking) on it`s body in the middle. It was really noticable with the lights out. Dont know if that`s what you are talking about or not.

It's normal, I've seen that on my Yellow too, but only with the lights off. You should only see it during the day if he's stressed ( temporarily, or habitually) Lol, or sick.
Mine gets whitish on his lateral line, where you would normally see HLLE. But under the lights he's bright yellow, throughout.
