To feed a Sailfin

[TCKelsey]

Hey guys, im wondering what you feed your Sailfin Tangs? I just got mine about 2 weeks ago and he looks extremely healthy but he wont eat the Nori I put in the tank! I see him browsing and picking at algae and whatnot on the rocks but he wont touch the Nori. And ive tried 2 different kinds and every other fish in the tank eats it but not him. He looks healthly enough but id like to know what/how you feed your Sailfin.

Thanks for the advice, Kelsey

no exp with sailfins but i know it took my tennenti tang a few weeks before he would start eating nori, sooner or later he will come around so keep on putting it in there for him

You can try some live algae (gracilleria is a favorite), or meaty foods like live brine or mysis.

If it's picking at the rocks, that's a good sign. He might be settling in still.

Also, not many fish will turn down live blackworms.
