I have a convict tang and in my opinion an aggressive quarantine approach with ample food feeding 10x daily a variety of foods without competition is required to get them eating on prepared foods. Also because they are acanthurus they are prone to parasites so copper and de-worming a must. Mine feeds aggressively on all short algae (not long hair algae) and eats seaweed extreme pellets with vigor. Won’t touch mysis or any meat-based food. Will eat some other pellets too. Goes crazy for nori but this took some time. If you throw a new arrival into a display tank with aggressive eaters you will probably fail.
