have a constant supply of nori in the tank for him to munch on. get the nori from tesco and secure a sheet in in the morning and one in the afternoon, if he eats it all, chuck more in there.

maybe its my screen settings but that looks like a nice healthy fish to me, no spot, good colour, maybe a little trim but otherwise ok?

Try Scoobs method but it may have parasitic worms too

he does not look bad at all,is he pinched on his front end it so try feeding him with various types alge or seaweed.ifeed my yellow tang on the dried sheets of seaweed cut up into small pieces and the thing he likes best spirulina flake food.
