Did you quarantine your new fish? And if so, how was the YT eating before you put him into the display tank?

Oh, OK,... but tangs don't always start eating nori right away. But he should once he gets comfortable, and is more hungry.

Re quarantine. You should consider that. Otherwise you are playing Russian Roulette with your fish, and sooner or later you will have an ich outbreak and lose a bunch of fish. You can learn the lesson the hard way,... or try to do it properly from the start.

Depends on size of fish. Should be OK for most new fish in the 2 or 3 inch size.
