Tangs are not eating

Question
Hello Paul,

I have a 165 gal tank, established for about 6 months.  I added a couple of Blue Caribbean Tangs, and because I have very little algae, have been trying to feed them lettuce with a lettuce clip.   They will not eat it.  Any special type of lettuce, or any idea of what I am doing wrong??

Kevin


Answer
hi, try getting some nori seaweed, any good fish shop should have some or try looking in oriental markets or stores (its the seaweed they use with sushi)

to be honest the tangs should eat most things you put in but lettuice isn't really something they would eat.
