Hey everyone I have a 80 gal tank with about 80 to 90 pounds of rock the list of of fish is puffer, butterfly three damsos blue and yelow tang and a clown. All is eating fine besides the yellow tang. I had him for about a week and it hasn't ate. The color seems to be good but looks very skinny. I've tried everything but it seems like it doesn't want to eat. What should I do?

Try slicing some garlic and letting it soak into some pieces of algae. May help to attract him to it. Try adding it right after you feed the others so the feeding frenzy has calmed down and they aren't battling for the food.
Hope some of this help.
Also, how big is the naso?

Tangs have been known to "hunger strike", I think it was close to a week before my Sailfin ate when I got him, hopefully time is all he needs.
