Clown Tang - Not eating (1 Viewer)

[Capt_Swank]

All,
I bought a Clown Tang a week or so ago. He seems to be a picky eater, and has not eaten yet.

Any ideas on what type of food this guy might like?


Thanks!

i feed mines small pellets spectrum, and seaweed. How big is your tank.. they need huge tank to feel comfortable

I referred a reef fish book and it states:

Diet should include plenty of algae based flake or pellets, nori, and fresh greens. Will also accept most small meat items such as mysis and pieces of krill.

It is also states this is one of the most difficult tangs to keep. HTH

My tank is 200+ gallon (7' Oceanic) so I am sure there is plenty of room.

I have tried most of the food listed above. I will keep trying, maybe he is still a bit new and needs to settle in a few more days.

Thanks

I'd recommend algae sheets as well. It's all my achilles will take, so I make sure there's plenty available.
