No, they are not. Please explain the situation. How long have you had him? How long did you acclimate him? Please give plenty of details.

I may be wrong but I've never seen a naso that looked like that, even when stressed. I don't think that's a naso.

When he's stressed like when i got him from the box, he had the white spots that they metion to look for. Now, he is just solid grey.
Maybe they get their color as they grow.

It's possible but I've had several of these guys. I have seen them both big and small and I've never seen one that looks like that.

The reason I asked what you are feeding him is cause that can have an effect on the colors. Tangs need lots of algae and greens, as I am sure you know already, but I just thought I would ask.

Could you possibly get a larger better pic? There are several naso sp. tangs, some of which are grey but it's hard to tell from that pic. Tangs can change color when stressed though. How large is it?

It's hard to get a closser pic. He is a very fast fish.
I actually like his color now. It's different. For $20, its a good buy.
