I got this purple tang from LFS on 7/3. Its now 7/12 and he has not eaten a single bite. I cant say this for sure since I cant watch him 24/7 but hes in QT with a yellow tang who's eating voraciously. I give them them a mix of nori/lettuce/frozen/seaweed pellets...I've tried everything, I've soaked in garlic. I get a slight feeding response from him...but he wont bite. There is no copper in the tank yet, I like to make sure they look good before I stress them further.
I saw 2 tiny black dots on his tail the other day, dont see them now. He was EXTREMELY shy when I first got him, hid for the first 4 days, he comes out now but no eating.
LFS had him for a week before I picked him up and reported he was eating ok. I wanted a pair of tangs so I had them source these for me.
Here is a pic, I dont see any outward issues, his mouth is kind of white, but I dont know if thats normal for purple tangs.
(water has a lot of debris, I just dropped a bunch of food in to see if I could get him to eat)
ph is 7.7, ammonia 0, nitrite 0.
