I have a 220 with some softies and several rbtas and a 15" hadoni . So far, after starting over following 14 weeks of fallow and most of the summer, I have a 5" magnificent foxface, a 5" gold striped maroon clown, a 4" powder blue tang and a couple of percs.

I just purchased a 4 to 6" flagfin angel and a 4" purple tang that I anticipate having in a couple of days. I really want to get another yellow tang and thought it would be a good idea to add it and the purple together at the same time to minimize aggression. I'm moderately concerned, though, of color matching with the yellow tang and flagfin. On the flagfin, I think my big concern is going to be whether or not he'll eat and what to do to inspire him. What would be the ideal food for inspiration if he doesn't eat right away...something with sponge?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Bob

I got my gold flake eating a frozen angel formula that contained sponges. He seemed to love it and now he loves everything

I'll try some of the frozen angel formula. It sounds promising. Thanks.

Usually larger ones are harder to get eating. If it doesnt want to eat, I always have luck with fresh mussels or clam. Not too big a fan of ONs frozen, but thats just me. Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions. You probably did see tang when I first posted but less than 10 seconds later I saw that and edited my post. You must have read it 5 seconds after I first posted. Cool fish I'll bet, though...a flagfin tang.
