Drock is right, the kole tang requires film algae as a major part of its diet.
You have to keep one side of the glass 'unclean' and it will suck the film algae on it all day.
It is also a good idea to pile a bunch of those smooth 1.5-2 inch stones which will also be covered with film algae.
I have never seen any tang I have every kept eat valonia nor have I read anything that would suggest that. Where did you get that info?
It is not a good idea to buy a tiny fish which will outgrow its tank sooner than you think even though you have the present intent to upgrade later.
