3" scopas tang not eating?

[Makubex]

Its mouth is tiny but the pellets i feed it are smaller than its mouth, i see him putting one in its mouth, seems to chew it or something and then spits it out, this repeats itself like 15x but i think he is eating maybe only 3-4 mini pellets i give him, i dont want him to starve or eat my softies, what should i do? I have a magnetic clip but im not sure what to feed it nor where to get it, i have a picasso in there as well and it is a pig-im pretty sure he'll eat all the algae that goes on the clip leaving just a little bit to the scopas tang-whatever goes in the clip... help please, do scopas do this? My previous yellow tang ate them like bacon-the pellets

Pellets /flakes are bad food choices, feed frozen, mine destroys frozen mysis

Who has it cheaper?

Try frozen mysis or brine. I've had the best luck with those two with a non eating fish.

I agree, try frozen. You could also get another veggie clip or two, that should let it eat in peace.

What veggies should i feed my scopas?

 

[Anemone_Fanatic]

Sorry, when I said veggie clip, I mean algae clip. Nori or fresh macroalgae is ideal. Generally speaking, terrestrial plant matter isn't good for our fish. Some people have fed leafy greens, but it isn't as good as plain old nori.
