Hi,

Welcome to RC Womby, hope you enjoy your stay with us. :)

I have a Regal Tang, must admit as he sleeps behind my reef so I dont get to see him.

Ask the Tangman, he will know.

Hi all fish lose there colour at night, its the step they take to hide when they are sleeping. My yellow tang comes out in a morning white all over and so does my powder blue but within minutes they are there nomal colour. As long as they change in to the proper colour within minutes i would not worry. HTH:D Eric

Hi Chris some Regals are true blue and some have a white/ yellowish underside, i am not certain but i think is due to the area they come from:D Eric

Welcome Womby.
My regal gets a white belly at night as I can see him wedged between my LR and glass. He's always done this and thats over 2 years now:D
