Wat do u feed him? Does he have enough room to swim? What size is the tank? Does it have enough live rock? I need these answers. He needs like a MINIMUM of 55, no exceptions. 55 is pushing it. He needs TONS of greens, like dryed seaweed twice a day to simulate natrual feeding habits. He could be dying from a lack of veggies. Make sure that nothing is pestering him. Are his insides sticking out, like is he really skinny? Try feeding him formula 2 which is a perfect blend for tangs, plus the seaweed, and mysid shrimp as well. Please let me know everything, okay?

Well, the fish is dead, but ya, that could help to get the info. I DID ask the tank size and tank mates, water parameters. If u want help, work with us. At least we can tell u y it died.
