 Topic: Yellow head jawfish

Ive had him for about a month. He is losing all of his color head? Something wrong with him or is it just his color?

Does he have good eating behavior? A good eater is a sign of good health. What are you feeding him? Ive heard that the food can have an effect on color.

VERY GOOD EATER. He gets a mixture of shrimp, pellets, flake and spirulina. He eats all.

Aloha Chuckfu,
A pic would help. Are other fish doing okay? Is there any competition or fighting? Another bottom dweller or large Bristleworm bothering it, especially at night?

Everything is doing fine. Two clownfish, two firefish and a lemon peel. A picture would be near impossible now as he has moved to the back. He was always light on his head but it he is almost all white now. Hardly any yellow.

Some fish will lose color for several days after new introduction. If everything else is good, I'd think that's the issue. I had a yellow watchman that was white for about two weeks, then colored up. Do you have places for it to hide in the rock/sand?
