He's in a 75 gal with quite a bit of coral,
Lawnmower Blenny
Mated Pair of Maroon clowns
4 blue chromis
Mandarin Goby
2 squirrelfish (very peaceful)
I just added him last week (he's still alive ;-)
I was worried that he had a disease because he wasn't eating, and just swimming frantically throughout the tank. I think he was wild caught... He only will eat Chaeto from my refugium, he wont touch any mysis, brine (live) or nori. I've tried soaking up the food in garlic.
I've seen him eat just today for the first time. He appeared to have a piece of chaeto that got in his swim path, so he just started munching on it.
I have 2 150 mh and 4 65w actinic .... No nitrates, undetectable phosphates, and the tank is a stable 80-81 degrees.
What are your thoughts? A friend of mine asked if I'd seen him poop, and I said yes, I've seen chaeto hanging out his butt.... So does that mean he's only eating Chaeto? lol

Bigp.- Purple tangs are known for the frantic swim behavior but he should settle in.
Try feeding him a small piece of nori rubberbanded to a rock or tear it up into bite size pieces and soak it until it will sink. Get some frozen spirulina brine shrimp food.
If you bought him locally, call the shop owner and ask if they have any ideas.
Hope this helps.
