How big a tank ? Other fish you have and are getting?

This is (IMO & IME) a very "iffy" area. Some paired clowns will not tolerate any other clowns, period. They are more territorial than aggressive, but can easily claim an entire 90 gal tank as their territory. Smaller species of clowns like Percs or Ocellaris may do well, but may not. Mated...

Coral dips kill pests that bother coral. There are stages of ich that can be on coral that are not killed by dips. Unless 100% sure that corals have been at least 8 weeks in water that is fish free----the coral should QTd. Many LFS have corals and fish on the same system and those corals could...

Just check around,Caribbean fish are often hard to find in the winter.

The largest online dealer never has any shipping restrictions. Everything they sell, thru all their companies has a 100% no-restriction guarantee. This includes "expert-only fish.

If this is ich; only hypo or copper will cure it. Putting this fish into your DT before the ich is treated is a certain disaster and every day you wait to treat it decreases the odds of the tang surviving. I agree: the temp is too low, but a higher temp will not cure ich. I think "a little ich"...

IMO & IME: you cannot get a fish that refuses a variety of foods to eat by just offering it something else. If this fish won't eat brine or mysis, its doubtful that he's ready to eat anything. Even though tangs are herbivores, they will almost always eat meaty foods before veggies and a Hippo is...

I don't understand the panic; this is the 4th day you've had him, right? If so, that isn't unusually long, many fish can take a week or longer to eat for the first time. They can go much longer than this without eating. Its behavior is odd though, are you sure ich isn't a factor?

I don't think any fish will eat anything until its ready. Almost any fish will eat brine shrimp, although (IMO) it isn't much of a food for them. (Spiulina enriched BS is, though.) Give him some time, its not at all unusual for a new fish to go for a week or more before eating.
