Picky orange shoulder

[StaghornE]

I have an orange shoulder tang that's grazing we'll and eating cyclops and mysis but I can't get him to touch a green algae sheet. Anyone have experience with one of these that could point me in the right direction?

How are you offering the algae? Is he eating other types from a clip? You can rubberband some around a small rock if he's not accepting from a clip. The other thing you may try is applying some garlic to the nori, allow it to dry, then offer it. Some Tangs are picky about the types of algae they eat.

Acanthurus olivaceous likes to suck up detritus from the bottom and microalgae growing on surfaces
