HELP!!! Naso Tang just won't eat, getting worried

[my2rotties]

I didn't think she was an adult since she is about 1/3 of the size of the large tang at the other store. I wasn't with the hubby when he bought her, and have told the hubby to call and complain. I don't know if it will help or not.

I hope all the advise proves true in this case, and she starts eating soon. I am thinking it is too late now.

I don't know why LFS continue to import them.
Follow the advice re: variety of foods and garlic extract.
Avoid to much contact with the tank as you will just further stress the fish.
Check your water parameters to make sure it is not a water quality problem and ensure you have lots of oxygen in the tank by placing a powerhead 8 inches below the water line.
Good Luck
