Try soaking the food in fresh garlic juice....and try frozen mysis

How are you attempting to feed the algae sheets?
How large is the naso?

Try breaking it apart in this manner:
In front of the return pump or power head, hold the sheet between your fingers and rub it together so that it flakes apart. It will look like flake food floating.
Turn off return pump/powerheads for about 10-15 mins
Let flakes settle
Even if the fish doesn't eat the flakes free floating in the water, they're liking to graze at the pieces that land throughout the tank.
I've also noticed that Naso tangs DO NOT really like green algae sheets, so you might want to try the red/ purple/brown varieties. I've had the best luck with Ocean Nutrition and Julian Sprung's sheets. Plain nori never works for me
