Default Tennent Tang Diet?

I'll do that today. Surely one of the LFS's here in Charlotte will have it
in stock.

Has anyone seen brown spots appear on their Tang's before? Mine got some
This AM is the first they've been there.

Ammonia, nitrite, phosphates, 0. Nitrate 10~15 (working on this, water
changes w ith R/O, adding more live rock, etc)

Could this be lack of correct grub for the "Lieutenant Tang?"

I did find out they like spinach zuchinni, broccoli


It must be very hard for them to find this stuff in
the vast oceans I am surprised they survived in there ;-)

BTW - have you tried live marine algae already?
Something like widely available red or green gracilaria,
ulva sp., caulerpa - other various species of "feeder algae"?
Feeding terrestial plants long term to marine animals
is just asking for troubles... it is a different
food chain - not all "green stuff" is the same...

p.s. this fish belongs to a large family of tangs with
similar needs: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/acanthurTngs.htm
