Also make sure that you have lots of water movement in your tank with turbulance on the top to encourage oxygen saturation. If you don't already have a good skimmer hooked up you might want to consider that.
You have a lot of fish in your tank so unless it is well oxygenated (sp) you are going to have problems. My blonde Naso was the only large fish that managed to survive when I lost circulation overnight due to a tripped breaker but he was not looking good the next morning - blotchy and breathing extremely laboured.
I hope you are planning a tank upgrade soon if you plan on keeping all those tangs.

Sounds like he's stressed. I had a Hippo Tang do the same thing for over a week. But I think he was coming out at night to graze. Cut your lighting back in that corner if you can.
Mine went nuts for Mysis shrimp soaked in garlic. Hope he works out

Default fish

Turn your lighs out for as long as you can.It can take a week or two for a fish to eat.Make sure your other fish are/nt pounding him.Make sure you leave him alone.The stress of trying to move him could kill him.
