The biofluorescent color emitted by the blue tang is affected by external light. For instance, some anglers have caught blue tang that appeared green. This is likely due to the UV intensity at the time of the catch. The impact of this color change within the species remains unclear, but it's unlikely for the blue tang to see their companions turn green while underwater.
