naso tang will not eat. could it be QT tank too small?

Can you put a small fish from the DT in with him for awhile. Other fish eating will sometimes raise interest in a new fish that won't eat. Sort of like dither fish getting shy fish out and about.

I agree with both of the above. I used to blend seaweed, mysis and a few other meaty foods (not always together), smear it on a rock then freeze it. I found this worked well for some finicky feeders.

And dither fish (active, bold little fish) do wonders. I have a sunset anthias that needs a dither fish around or he won't even come out of the rocks, let alone consider taking food. I put a resplendent anthias in with him the other day and it has been a night and day change in behavior in terms of confidence and feeding.

Put in a cleaner wrasse or a Chromis in with him.
