So earlier this week I got a new member to the family... a Blonde Naso Tang (Naso elegans). He has been picking around the rocks and sand but not really eating anything. He has picked off the Algae clip after my Hippo Tang, but he spits it right out. I tried everything I could think until yesterday (Mysis, Brine, Squid, Clams, Cyclopeeze, Brown-Green-Red Algae) and he wouldn't take it. I know they can take a while to start eating, but I also know there is a turning point where they WON'T eat anymore and just starve if they get too weak. I got rid of my yellow tang (the tank bully!) to get this guy, so know one including the Hippo Tang is picking on him that I can see.
To make a long story short, I found and picked up some live Red Gracilaria Feeding Algae (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=490+1127&pcatid=1127) and he ATE IT ALL!!!!
I need to find out where I can buy this localy or if anyone has it on their fuge so I can feed him until he gets used to eating the other stuff. I used to have it, but I threw it away after my other tangs wouldn't eat it a couple of months ago !
Thanks All-
Higor
