false alarm lol. I believe that since the atlantic juvinile tnags on the interet are yellow i would say yes it is just some of its young colours slowly fading out. Theres me getting my pacific tangs and atlantic all mixed up

Don't know how long it will take, but since they look great either way, why care?

it can depend on the fish and environment, but we have full blues at about 1 and a half inch

I have had mine for about 6 months now and it has only developed a thin blue line around the outside of it's dorsal fin and around it's eyes. It is just over 2 inches now. Here is a pic.

It was listed in our LFS as a juvinile atlantic blue tang. The guys in our LFS know us very well and they are very experienced so I don't think they would have listed it wrong.
