how could you tell he needed more algea with the picture?

You can tell by looking at the upper part of the fish. You see where it looks a little sunken in, and you can see the vertebra protude a little? This upper part of the fish is where it stores a lot of its reserve energy. For comparrison sake, when you look at your powder brown you can see that it has a more rounded head and the lateral bone is not protruding. A healthy fish will have a nice fat head. In my experience, rabbit fish graze a lot of algae, even more so then tangs. They require more frequent feedings to be kept healthy. It seems that they have a short digestive track and a high metabolism IME.
