White Tang?

Enjoying some diving time in Kona,
But went snorkeling today and saw this tang.
Wondering if it is an albino, unique coloration or 'sick'?
Appeared to be moving about and feeding normal.

Thanks.

Enjoyed the special showing of 'Wonders of the Sea 3d" tonight.

Excellent 3D of marine life from Fiji, California, Sea of Cortez and Bahamas.

If available again, worth seeing once.
