blue hippo tang turning all black

[wolfeman8870]

i have had this hippo tang now for four months, and when i got it , it was normal color. dori from nemo movie. now it is all black except for yellow tail and a small blue oval on each side. i took some photos and showed it to my local fish store and they said they have never seen or heard of anything like this. said it was worth thousands. anyone out there knows anything i sure could use some advise. you can email me for a photo at wlfbb@yahoo.com
thanks, matt

maybe he's just sick or doesnt have enough of a certain vitamin/protein to maintain the natural blue color?

im not to handy with a computer, dont know what url# is. it eats everyday and i feed it the type of pellets that even has a blue tang on the label. the two clown fish and 6 line wrasse are also in the same tank as well as mushrooms, kenya tree, zoos torch, and some hard corals. snails hermit starfish ect. i can email anyone a photo if you know how to post it or if you just want to see it.
