Okay, for you Powder Blue Tang owners: what do you feed them?

Picked one up at Aquatica (great road trip Heil). I'm already nervous, so yes I may want to borrow that sterilizer. It was purchased against my better judgement.... but that is what the wife wants.

Mine ate everything (RIP) .
It was also covered in ich for the first three months. But, it remained aggressive and actively grazed and took any food introduced. The ich never spread to any other fish and garlic did not appear to be affective. He would also never pose for the cleaner shrimp.
It would also take the purple Two Little Fishies algae, but never took the red.
Good luck - I couldn't find my blonde naso this moring! I'm sure she is hiding. (I've decided it must be a she - dont' really know why).

Adam I feed my PBT just about anything. Most BSD foods. I use nearly everything they sell. I also feed Nori and Two Little Fishies Algae. (All 3 colors.) I found that UV helped my fish enormously. Garlic Oil also did well by it. I'll have had mine 2 years as of this years reef tour.
P.S. Mine also loves the food you taught us to make a couple years ago.

Adam - the naso is doing great. Taking introduced foods, grazing, looking cool. The basslet is cryptic, but eating and becoming pugnacious.

Haven't had the opportunity to feed a powder blue in my tank yet, but if you are looking for something other than nori try those artic pods you had in your garage. All my tangs will forget about the nori clip and start chasing pods, I guess in your wifes case you could call them tang candy.

That's actually what she is feeding him.  I'm just always looking for more options (I have every single type of food you can think of) and more advise and what is working for others.
