I recently got a small Sailfin Tang about 4 days ago. I tried feeding Hikari's Seaweed extreme pellet and frozen mysis shrimp but so far it doesn't seem like he's interested. I currently have him a quarantine tank with live rocks. I'm starting to get concerned. Any advice, I would appreciate. Thanks in advance,

Try mimicking his natural environment as much as possible, so maybe rubber band some nori/seaweed to a rock and eventually once it gets accustomed to the rock, u can use a clip.

The emergency has been solved! He just ate some mysis shrimp. I'll definitely try nori next time. Thanks so much bro!
