They are just standard yellow tangs with off-coloring. Ive seen several yellow/white and a few black ones. Everynow and then you see them for sale online, usually for a rediculous price

Kinda like those albino looking clownfish. Personally I think those clowns are ugly. But those white-faced tangs are pretty.

Did you see the yellow and black one at around 3 minutes in? Those color variations are striking, I have to say.

I think there's an albino version of Yellow tangs and if I'm not mistaken, there's a Black tang species, but that could just be the (rare) colour variants.

That tank has to be ginormous to have all those fish!! How big do you think it is?

Wow, that tank is amazing
And to the comment above, the black tang is its own species, and very, very expensive

Enjoy the read. this will blow you away. my advice is to not look at your own tank for at least 24hrs after reading this. You have been warned....... :) Almost 3500 gallons total setup.
They got me at 700 gallon water change!!! At that point I figured this guy is a multimillionaire and has the time to spend 3-4 days a month doing a 20% water change!!
Only price info on the piebald tang I could find said easily 20X's regular yellow tang price and one forum said that one sold for $6000.

Also, you can seach David Saxby and can find newer updates on this tank. Amazing.
Says he completely stripped the original tank in 2009. This is what he did with it.
