tang not eating

[CD]

got home tonight, powder brown out and swimming, even ate some myses ,I think hes ok just a little shy and shock from being trasfered, i'm still going to check out the macro you told me about, im sure its very good for the fish

Great! Glad he/she ate something ;)

Yeah, definitely try out the Gracilaria...there is a good chance that your fish will love it (I've had a couple of tangs that *chowed* on that stuff). Worst case scenerio, if the PB doesn't like it, you can use it to help keep your water cleaner - you never said if you have a refugium or not, but if you do, Gracilaria likes more light than most algaes to grow. If you don't have a refugium, you may want to look into getting one - even a small hang on will be better than nothing...if you are not familiar with refugiums, do a Google search under "marine refusium", and you will get tons of information on them. OR, you could either buy or borrow a book called "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" by Robert Fenner - LOTs of infomation that will be really helpful to you.

Oh, and do try rubberbanding some of that dried Nori you mentioned to a rock in lieu of using the clip...your fish just may not be used to a plastic clip yet, and will be a lot more prone to eating it if it's hanging off a rock.

Lastly, don't forget about the Spirulina - this is very healthy algae for tangs, and IMO a must to have in any tang diet. For ease of feeding, you can buy it in the frozen cubes (s/b very dark green - you may want to chop the cube up a bit for feeding). ALL of my tangs LOVE this stuff!! ;)
