I have the same fish, but my did not eat frozen food or pellets yet. What is Tang heaven? Where do i get them? My fish only eat nori (seaweed). I think the black spot is from stress. How long do you have the fish?

tang heaven is a macroalgae, you can get it here:

i think it is from stress too, just thought someone will know what it really is.

I am no expert, but you need to feed tangs a variety of food as well as vitamins.

Reefguy, get a bottle of Zoed and soak your food or tang heaven in there for 10mins before feed to your sohal. It came with nutritions (Vitamins ect...). My Sohal haven't eat any real food for two weeks now and he is still fat and healthy even he only eat nori.
