They are usually black with green undertones. They will fade to a dark green when lights are off and will darken back up when lights come back on. In my experiece. Maybe there are different colors from different regions.

they change color as they age.
i grew up a ford mustang fanatic and i liken them to the mystic paint color. they change in different lights. adults sometimes look dark green, dark purple, or even black. the young ones in a bright flour light will be the sea green you see under the pics on this site.

That's a black durgon(sp) not an Odnus Niger.... They come from hawaii mostly, jeez if you don't know what you have ask.

That is actually a Melichthys niger. It's scientific name is "Niger". So JAYMZ is correct. They are Jet black with irrodescent blue and green undertones. The more common Niger (Odonus Niger) is greenish blueish, purpleish.

Purple,yellow and other tangs are in the same family aswell, you walk into a lfs and ask for a niger they are not going to give you a durgon, you will get handed a odonus everytime, its a matter of splitting hairs when we are lumping famlies together.
