What size tank do you have? What are your water parameters? What size are the fish when you buy them? How much and how often have you been feeding them? Nori should also be offered daily to a PBT.

yes, tangs are strictly algea eaters in the wild. they should be feed that everyday. Size of the tank matters also. Last this is a very difficult fish no matter what, very few success stories.
