It was more like he was just taking in his mouth and then spitting it out right away.

I feed twice a day. Either green, brown or purple seaweed in the morning and either a combination of mysis and brine( mysis is a bit of a mouthful to some of my fish) shrimp (soaked in selcon) or Michika's blend in the evening. There are also random and sporadic feeding of live pods, arctic pods, cyclopeze and banana.

I thought it might be looking for food but it is getting an all round feeding. If you tang is healthy, active, full colour, clear eyes and plump, I wouldn't worry about it.

I wasnt really worried(except that the tang doesnt have all his marbles)....it was just a behavioral observation. Plump is a good description.... not obese, but full bodied.
