Help Sailfin Tang not eating
Hello Everybody:
I bought a sailfin tang last weekend, and he isn't eating. I tried Nori, mysis, brine. Nothing is working. Anyone have any suggestions? SHould I try food soaked in entice? Garlic guard? Flakes? Any help is appreciated.

How are you feeding the nori?
Best way to feed nori is to wrap a piece around a piece of PVC and hang that in the tank. A loose sheet is no good, it will disintegrate, but if he can "pick" at the PVC it won't be long before he discovers the nori-ish goodness and mow it down within seconds of being offered. Garlic is supposed to be pretty good at getting them to come around to offered foods. Squeeze some garlic oil on the nori. Also maybe try some spirulina flake.

sailfin
I just put a piece of nori into tank held in place with magnetic algae cleaner (mag float) the motion should attract the sailfin.
