Yellow tang - lower stomach not right?

My Yellow Tang is acting fine, swimming all over and eating. Was in my 20g qt for 75 days while I got ich out of DT. He started to get some issues with his head and fin line but that's has improved now that he's back in the big tank. But tonight I realized his stomach or intestines are showing through. Pics are not great but it almost looks like his intestines are "œpacked". . . Or constpiated. I feed him (2) 1/2 sheets of seaweed per day and brine/my sis at night. Have just started adding Selcon over the last week.

Any thoughts what might be going on?

(2) 1/2 sheets of seaweed per day is probably too much. Cut it back to 1/2 sheet every 2-3 days.
 
Your TY looks fine. "œPinched" is bad. That looks normal. My YT lived 14yrs. However I have lost 2 in QT trying to replace... so sad.
 
This is a pure sign of malnutrition. Seaweed is a supplement, not meal. Also rub garlic extract on the seaweed.
Feed at minimum:
LRS Herbivore diet
mysis shrimp
Plankton
Spirulina brine shrimp
Ocean nutrition formula 2 flake and frozen

*** vitamins such as selcon to the above listed. Watch how plump it gets in 2-3 weeks !!
