    Well, that's a tough one. For me anyways.

    What foods specifically are you feeding?
    How long have you had it?

    My tangs get a rotation of 4 different foods. Two dried seaweeds, Omega One sheets and a seaweed flake food.

    Welcome to 3reef. Could you tell us a little more about your tank(how long it's been set-up and tank parameters like temp,ph,etc) so maybe we can get a better idea on whats going on with yout tang?

    the best piece of advice you'll get around here as a saltwater newbie is 3Reef's slogan

    good luck and post pics soon :)

    Try some marine specific dried algae. They certainly enjoy lettuce but don't get as many of the needed nutrients from it. I would also pick another cleaner shrimp if that was helping. A neon goby would also fill the spot and be quite a bit cheaper.
