Try mixing garlic suppliments to your food. As well when was your last water change? I found and have heard from others that yellow tangs are a great way to tell when you water is not quite right, they tend to start eating better when the stress is dealt with. As well it is a tang, so it will munch on algae in the tank as well.

Tangs except regal tangs, require algae not meaty foods.
Get some unflavoured nori from the store and soak it in selcon and garlic extract or garlic extreme. I would also check your water quality with a new test kit. Last edited by naesco; 12-24-2008 at 09:59 PM.

Are there any signs of disease? Is there rapid gill movement at all times? Has the tang lost color at all?
I had this problem a couple of times over the years with yellow tangs. Seems they would stop eating due to illness.

Were you only feeding brine before?? Brine has pretty much 0 nutitional value. Mysis is defintely better, that with the nori and some pellets would be good. Tangs love to eat so when they stop its not a good sign, you said it is showing signs of disease, are there any other symptoms other than loss of color.

I was feeding them brine (on recommendation of my LFS) but I was also feeding him Nori as well (I knew he was a grazer) and he was eating well, then he just stopped eating.
Signs of disease that I've seen: Not eating some loss of color rapid breathing his mouth never closes There are no sores or anything that I can see externally, I looked at his gills last night and i couldn't see any redness but it was dark and I was using a flash light. I'm starting to get worried about him as he's starting to get thin.
