Offer him a small piece every day. He could munch on it while you're not watching. He's more likely to take that than other food. You can try the red or even brown varieties as well since those tend to entice a picky eater better.

I just put a little piece on a veggie clip and place it on the tank button, hopefully he will try it. I have both red and green Nori.
What concerns me as well is that he swims side ways most of the times.

You can also try rubber banding small piece of nori to a rock to graze on. This mimics natural feeding a bit better.

I just took a video, this fish make me look bad now he is picking on the Nori sheet and he is not swimming side ways like how he does all day long. :mad:

lol. Why don't we take that as a good thing. Keep an eye on him and the camera ready in case he does it again.

by the way @melpr1985, just click on your new build thread, very interesting tagging
Thanks! Your tang looks pretty normal to me. I agree that he could be weak and looks pretty thin. These tangs can get some serious girth to them when well fed. Lots of nori constantly with added vitamins would be a plus.

Thank you guys, I will continue to feed him Nori daily.
I have one more question:
1. How do I approach adding a little more copper ( Seachem) to the tank after I do a 50% water change. ( Reason for water change is little spike of Amonia + weekly water change)

You'll simply dose the copper into the new water before adding it to the tank.

Happy Thursday,
Good news to share, my Tang start to eat, this is week 2 of Cupramine but overall 3 weeks since fish in QT. Tang eating both Nori and shrimp. Looking forward for next week to do a 50% water change then add carbon and continue to monitor him.
On a side note you guys had good success using Red Sea NoPOx to reduce Nitrate? Nitrates very high in my main display. This is the 1st I ever test for Nitrate [emoji51]. I have been wondering why my SPS was slowly dying /fading

I've had good success doing large WCs and vinegar dosing to reduce nitrates: http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index...ar-dosing-methodology-for-the-marine-aquarium
