when I had one the best thing I ever did to induce eating was add three more and removing the tangs for four days (well after the old female and one of the new females nearly faught to the death). Damn pigs afterwards!
Heres an old crappy video of feeding. they shouldn't be "coming out", they are the type of fish that are ALWAYS out and go in once in a while. If you have any fish that intimidate them or make them apprehensive they may have to be removed until they are eating or acclimated comfortably to the tank. they may never eat well otherwise. Mine used to do the same thing (take an occasional bite of mysis but never really eat even by itself in QT. it took all of one day for her to eat after adding the other anthias). my male turned out to be a badass chasing and fighting with my midas blenny from time to time.
