Any other thoughts?

It is probably the reason together with the stress of the travel here.

The key with the large adult tangs and angels as well is to SEE them eating at the LFS. (A good practice for buying all fish. Don't believe the LFS if they say they had just fed the fish). Sadly most large adulst tangs and angels wont eat.

Catherine. It is from my own early experience with Naso and other large fish like angels. I have also read it but can't find the cite immediately.
Was the naso eating when you bought it?
