Id recommend going to your Local fish store and asking for help. You could also ask vetteguy just PM him or tag him.

try putting some garlic extract on some nori for the clip. That worked for my naso tang. Now he eats a whole piece by himself every day. I also put a drop in with the frozen mysis. The garlic I use is made by Brightwell Aquatics, it is called Garlic Power
Sure! That is what I did until I got the other. I just broke a clove in half and rubbed it on the nori

all about the diy!!!!!
Give him time… if he’s got algae to graze on he will be ok for awhile.. my blue eye Kole wouldn’t touch food for about a month and just picked the algae off my back glass.. I think he learned from the rest of tang gang who get super excited when I’m near the tank it’s feeding time and he’s a pig now.
in small, recommended doses garlic is actually good the fish, just as it is for us.

How long have you had him?
Was he eating before?
If you've had him a short time was he quarantined or medicated?
How many fish are in the tank and what size tank? Is he being bullied?
Do you have more tangs in the system?
