Since he is nibbling on the rocks.. its a good thing but not so good cos i think might not be sufficient in our enclosed area.hope for the best bro. Fun hobby but not fun when our fish dont eat. Most or some of us sure encounter this problem. Learnt my lesson before as a newbie but im lucky using the method i mentioned above it does work at least for me. There was once my fish eating greedily for months n suddenly stop eating overnight for no reason for a week. Cant bear to see the fish suffer i gave him to lfs. Im not trying to say u have to do the same bro. Its just me bro.

I c....hopefully he will make it bro.. me too will get freaking worried. Hope he is nibbling something on your rocks at night to sustain himself before he take your food. As one of the reefer asked above , is he already eating in lfs?

Although he doesnt eat, does he show any response to food flying around him bro. If he does u still got chance. As the reefer upstairs said variety is key. I ever crushed my pellet slightly so that become even smaller pieces to entice my fish to eat before. Just not too much and the smaller pieces must fall near him. I got no experience with kole tang. Only yellow tang. But 1 lfs owner told me b4 that kole tang ship poorly so important to buy fish that is already eating and healthy and stable. At least more than half the battle won.

True.. try seaweed and tie it to a piece of small rock or sea shell and place it slowly to the area where your kole tang hang out. Hopefully he will eat bro. If he doesnt dont panic although a week without food to me is quite long. Hopefully no other fast and aggressive fish in the same tank. That might prevent him for fully acclimating from my experience although im still learning. What i did normally and with success is i feed more times than normal day and off 1 pump during feeding. Of course i watch my water quality. Hopefully it helps bro

Hye bro.. i didnt know your parameters is but from most reefers will say is shrimp is sensitive to parameters. Could be nitrate too high or temperature too high although my shrimps do survive my high temperature before. Could be your acclimation process. Could be critters inside your rocks that killed him. Just my guess.sorry bro. My post got not much help to u.

Flame hawkfish dont think will be good with shrimp.. some say they got success with them but since i got 2 fire shrimp and 2 skunk i dont want them to be eaten by flame hawk.. ever thought of trying my luck but dont want to be a murderer. If i dont have shrimp will DEFINITELY buy flame hawk. Maybe a pair.. sure swee but not sure csn keep pair or not.

How bout flame hawk bro provided u got no shrimp la... bright and got personality and cute.. only not super cheap la.. but not expensive also.. i really love to have this fish.. but got 4 shrimp .. heard mix reviews im worried for my shrimps..

I am no expert here bro but i will definitely take him out to another tank but being careful not to stress other tankmates and of course be gentle to him. Cos as for me i got minimal rocks. Your tank may or may not be infected but at least minimise the spread if its been spreading to other mates which i hope not. From there i will seek advice from the experience reefers of treatment. Hopefully there are ways to cure the poor fish and also your tank if it is also infected

Still a very good guideline..especially for beginner like me...
