What is his diet? how big a tank? water params? Is the lateral line clearly visible (more so than it would be in newly imported specimens) and does there apear to be any pits or "holes" in the head area?

How often and how much are you feeding the algae? what other food items are being fed to the tank (IME yellow tangs will eat almost any food)? How long are the lights on every day? What are the answers to the questions I edited into my previous post (sorry if that cuased any confusion)?
