Naso tang won't eat

I have a Naso tang, it has been in my tank for a month and it will not eat anything I feed it, all the rest of the fish eat so it has examples to follow. It eats algae off the rocks that is why it has made it so long.

It is starting to get thin as the algae supply dwindles; right now I think it will just die unless someone knows a trick to get this guy eating; any ideas?

Until you can get it to eat prepared foods, try supplementing its diet with romaine lettuce or broccolli.

You can supplement with Nori (I use seaweed selects) - Formula II works for me too.

My tangs love the nori that I get from the health food store. I wet it down fold it up and put it on a clip. They graze off of it all day.
