Male CFW tail tinged light pink!
My male cfw's tail is tinged a very faint light pink! I just noticed it a few minutes ago, I caught him and examined him to see if he had any signs of injury or bleeding, but there were none! The cuttlebone in his cage happens to the the one that is surrounded by the calcium mix, which happens to be pink (It's not what I normally use but the 2 pet smarts closest to me are out of regular cuttlebone and have been for 2 months! Is it possible that this is what tinted his tail? Or is there something else I am missing, any thoughts? I think he may have been jumping on the cuttlebone a lot today... I may offer a bath and see if it washes out after.

It isn't a mutation! It sounds like he brushed up against the pink around the cuttlebone. Same thing happens with the orange one
