New Naso tang wont eat

[craftedpacket]

I picked up a large 6-7" Naso tang this last weekend. Since bringing him home I have not really seen him eat anything.

He is a very healthy looking fish. I have tried green seaweed sheets, Ogo, Formula one flake, spirulina flakes, spectra pellets, frozen mysis and brine. He picked at the ogo once, my foxface seems to love it, but he will eat anything.

I have seem him eat a small piece of flake and a bite of the ogo and thats it. Anyone have any ideas on how to get him to eat?

Attach the Nori sheet to something like a rock and sink it to the bottom. You may get more interest that way.

Thanks for the recomendation. Do you attach it With a rubber band or something like that?

Brown Algae is the what they naturally eat in the wild.

Try some of the Brown Algae sheets.

Once they start eating they are real pigs and will eat pretty much anything.

I like to do it this way:

or you can tie it to a piece of rubble:
