Hey, I currently have a mustard tang in QT that is acting and behaving very healthy. However, he has an unusual appearance to his face. At first, I thought it was just some surface abrasion, but I recently saw on Live Aquaria has near the exact same type of "discoloration". Is this appearance typical for mustards, or do both fish have identical abrasions? The pic is from Live Aquaria's site, because they take MUCH better pics than me.

Yes, I was refrring to the "blotchiness" between the eyes. I guess thats just normal then, huh? I havent seen him get real excited yet. He;s in QT by himslef, and just races around, and eats liek no tomorrow. He's not too big, may 3.5" or so.

Sounds similar to the naso thing (large white blotches all over the body when stressed).
