i have a juvenille 2" yellow tang and it will not take the food i give it. Its new to the tank, and has been in there for abbout a week. Ive been putting peices of this thin algae sheets i bought from my LFS on a little clip in the tank. The tang hasnt taken any, however i know that hes hungry because he is grazing on my live rock, dolomite, and all over the tank...it looks colorful and healthy. I tried putting the sheets in crevices of the live rock, and repositioning the clip, but he just wont take it.
What methods might it accept?

Mine eats flakes, pellets, and frozen stuff. If he is eating on the live rock, he might just not like what you are giving him. When you feed the other fish, does he eat that stuff?
