My yellow tangs gradually developed a faint diffuse "blush" in some areas, red
or rust-colored. The brilliant lemon yellow faded slightly, and became 
variable. No diagnosis.

This condition, whatever it was, did not seem to concern the fish much, only my perception of it. It persisted for months, but the fish continued to act normally and eat live, flake, and lettuce leaf foods. Ultimately, I lost the fish in a serious tank casualty, but I'm sure it was unrelated. Have seen this in 3 or 4
different yellow tangs. I don't believe I ever attempted to medicate it.
