Purple tang ?

[ljosh]

My purple tang will only eat green Nori. He eats lots of it every day. He never goes after the flake or frozen food or any of the other color nori I feed. Is this enough for him? Is there something else I should be trying to feed him?

They are natural herbivores so it should be fine, but how long have you had the tang and what have you tried feeling it? There are so many choices in food that I'm sure you can find something it likes i.e Marine Cuisine, Emerald Entree, Mysis, Brine, Squid, Mussels, Clams on the half shell and try mixing Garlic in with the food to entice it to eat...good luck.

I have had the tang for just over a month now. he seems to skittish to come out when ever I am putting flake or frozen in the tank. He hits the nori clip imediately as soon as I refill it. I have a multi pack of frozen food so im not really sure wich is wich when I am feeding it. I will get some more types to feed him.
