What to feed a Naso Tang

[justin1977justi]

I have a Large Naso Tang that I just purchased online and I can't find anything that it will eat. It is starting to swim around the tank like he is looking for food when I feed the others but he won't eat anything. I have fed pellets, nori, flakes, shopped up seafood. What else should I try. He has not eaten for 3-4 days now. He still looks very healthy though.

he might be used to seaweed on a clip.some times a piece of nori attached to a piece of live rock with a rubber band will entice.mysis shrimp ,frozen should also get him eating.once they are in tank a while they eat right out of your hand

I fed mine calurpa, both leaves and grapes. He also loved any kind of fresh seaweed i could find for him except sargassum sp? grass . Formula 1 and 2 cubes. I would try some calurpa of romaine doesnt work, its a lot more nutricious.

Mine wouldn't eat anything I put into the tank until I took 4 small rocks and rubberbanded different dried algaes to them. I made it really close to the rock with no algae sticking up and she totally started in on it!

I had tried about a million different things before that and nothing worked.

If you can get your hands on some red gracilaria (live algae) that would be really great. They LOVE LOVE LOVE that algae.
