Hi Reef2Reef, I got a scopas tang from Reef-A-Palooza and I am wondering how you guys get tangs to start eating nori. I’m worried that he won’t last long if he doesn’t start eating so any advice is welcome.

That’s what I’m doing right now. He swims near the nori, takes a good look at it, and then swims away.I hope someone else chimes in. I did not have any problems as mine all just went nuts for it when I put it in the tank.
If I can give you any help it would be to rubber band some to a rock and place it in the tank. Tangs are grazers and naturally pluck algae off the rocks, so play to this. Make it as natural a process as possible and he should start eating soon.
