clown tang

[TruonkQ]

Just got this guy Friday... Looks healthy, but hasn't touched a bite of brine/ mysis/ or bloodworm w/ kent garlic. Anyone know what this guy eats? He seems to be very afraid and shy hidding behind a rock. Think my sailfin tang is picking on it?

he might still be stressed....they from what i have been told are a hard tang to get to eat. get you some seaweed sheets might eat that. but i am sure someone will give you better advice.

Good luck.........I never got mine to eat and eventually lost him..........

Mine is a pig and eats anything I put in the tank - flakes, Nori, Brine, Mysis. He was eating from day one. Really seems to like the Nori, maybe try that?

i think he is stressed, but my other tangs will get to the norri b4 he does. I've put a whole sheet of norri on a pvc pipe and by morrning its gone. Maybe the purple/ blue/ yellow/ sailfin won't let him have a bite.

poke the sailfin with a sharp stick :innocent at least that would sound like some pete advise.

Tear your sheet of nori into 2-3 pieces and put some at opposite ends of the tank - More places to eat = less crowded dinning ;)
