Kole Tang Issues

[Huskymaniac]

have a spotted Kole Tang since January and it is very skittish. It also doesnt really eat other than cleaning up random pellets that hit the sand. It hasn't lost any weight so I am assume its eating enough of something. Any tips with this fish? I have tried LRS, Rods, etc.

My kole tang does the same just swims around eating algae off rocks and glass. You can try feeding it nori sheets tho, mine loves that.

Bristles are primarily slime algae and detritus eaters. Success is improved if you have plenty of rock for grazing. My chevron took about six months to start to eat from the water column, and a further year before it would eat nori. Absent adequate grazing surfaces, it would have starved.
