There's a 4 foot cubera snapper in the Audubon Aquarium that's just shy of dirty white in colour. It's the biggest snapper I've ever seen.
I have noticed that a lot of aquarium fish do not have the same colors as their brothers out in the wild unless they are recently caught and placed in an aquarium.
