Hi everyone,
I've had a Kole tang in my tank for about a month now as my last addition to my tank.Since he's been in, he very rarely comes out and will hide behind the rocks most of the time.The last week or so his belly has become "pinched in" which makes me think he's not eating or is there anything else it could be.I know there mouths are pretty sensitive but there doesnt seem to be any trauma to it. There's plently of fine algae on the rocks which i suppliment with dry green algae. Should i be trying to feed him with anything else? I feed the rest of the tank a mixture of frozen food (brine shrimp etc).
Tank details are below:
60 gallon tank
X2 powerheads (2000 LPH)
X1 fluval 1200 LPH external filter
UV filter
Protein skimmer
Corals:
X2 mushroom corals
X1 anemone
Fish:
1 Kole tang
1 lemon peel dwarf angel
2 percular clowns
1 purple firefish
1 green striped goby
Everything else is doing fine.He was the last planned addition to the tank.If he stays out long enough i'll try and get a picture on here.He was sold as a a yellow eyed tang but as he has blue circles round his eyes i'm guessing he's a blue eyed tang.
Any help would be grateful guys!
Thanks
Mark
