[lsingh]

I got this male blonde naso tang from DD last Thursday and he was acclimated straight to my display which is 72x36x25.....I dnt hve any quanterine setup but I took my time while acclimation him to my display ...
Tang is about 7.5"...1st couple days he didn't eat any thing and now he only eats nori sheets ....I been trying feeding my tank twice a day just trying to get him eat pe mysis and brine but he won't touch anything besides eating nori twice a day ...
His tank mates r
9 Anthias 1 small purple tang 2 wrasses and 2 clowns ....
Couple day ago I noticed a large white patch on him ..patch is about atleast 3/4 "...he seems fine and healthy and eating nori very aggressively but dnt know why not eating mysis and brine shrimps

When did you notice the white patch (what time of day) and where is it, can you describe it better? Can you get a picture, would be much easier to help out.

Naso are known to get stress white patches. As 35 said, a pic will help.

Another thing with large naso is that they can be very difficult to get to start eating. If he is eating Nori I will not worry much. My blonde naso did not eat for 4 weeks - nothing at all before he started Nori. Now after 6 months he eats everything.

Give him time.

Good luck.

NOT a stress patch..

But still hard to see. Is it smooth on the fish or does it look raised or any type of texture to it?

I guess smooth

Agree. It is NOT a stress patch. It looks like a dent on the fish.

You said you got it from DD? You should call and report it at least.

Looks like a crater if I had to describe it. Was it there when you got the fish?
