They are algae eaters so the only flake food for them is spirulina. You can buy the spirulina disks or flake but make sure spirulina is the first ingredient on the label.
Dried unflavoured nori is also good . Soak it in garlic extract, an appetite enhancer, and selcon for vitamins.

Powder blue tangs are difficult to keep. They most often get sick for no apparent reason and die ofter taking several other fish in the tank with them.

I started mine off with cyclopeeze flake. Nobody can miss that radioactive orange floating around in the tank (and it was the only flake my bangaii cardinal would recognise as food ). Eventually he ate whatever I put in the tank.
