Default Clown Tang

Okay, i have a clown tang that is almost 5 inches long. Very beutiful and healthy fish. It has a reputation in live aquaria for being an "expert only" fish. As of now, im feedin it seaweed, spirulina, algae, some meaty foods through pellets,flakes, and mysis shrimp. Am i missing something?? Im just worried that i might not be doing something, cause im giving him the same amount of attention as my bluegreen chromises, and they are a "Easy" care level fish.

All comments and sugestions are accepted. Thanks

If it's eating, it's healthy so you're doing something right!

Be prepared for a bit of aggression towards your other fish. From what I've read, the clown tang can become a bully.
