Can angel do such damage?

Also my tang cond r e same since day 1. Always hiding at his usual spot. But super active during feed in time.

When I first got my blue tang also same. When lights off it will lose it colour. Read that this is natural in a new environment.

I've had my blue tang for close to a year now and till today. He still changes color at night while sleeping. He turns white while in his crevice. But once he is awake, he regains his color. I'm guessing he does that so the others won't disturb his sleep?

The other tangs do occasionally change color as well. The powder brown would at times turn very light brown. The naso would turn super dark. And the sailfin turning white. I think they do that to indicate their mood or if something is disturbing or bothering them.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

It's normal that tangs drop to a lighter shades when the lights is off and also when stressed.

As for the wound, i supposed is your tang fighting with each other with their scalpel and hence you see wound.
