I picked up a half black Mimic Tang from Barrier Reef's anniversary sale that is doing great. He's in a 20 gallon long QT tank with a pair of Picassos and has been eating mysis, formula 2 flake food, freeze dried cyclopeeze, and New Life Spectrum pellets with gusto. He seems fine, but he hasn't touched a single piece of Nori I've tried to give him. I have the brown and green variety's, and i've even tried to rubber band the nori to a rock instead of feeding it off the clip. Any suggestions for what i should do or do mimic tangs not eat nori?
You'll find it will eat much the same foods as Dwarf Angels. Although they will and do eat macro algae, they are often a minor part of their diet. Provide frozen foods that contain marine algae and offer some macro algae tied to a rock on the bottom of the tank (rather than on those algae clips).
