Question Blue Tang, which location; Fiji, Solomon, Indian Ocean???

So I was browsing around DF&S checking out the Blue (Hippo) Tangs and I noticed that they have them from several locations. So my question is, what is the differences between a Blue Tang from Fiji, Solomon, and the Indian Ocean? Is it something to do w/ coloration, better collecting techniques, etc? TIA.

I asked F&S the same before ordering the same fish...they said no difference, the price diffs are b/c of higher costs in some areas/from some vendors than others.
