Tang Issues

I've had a yellow tang in my tank for about three months now. I have been feeding him flake food and fresh romaine lettuce/dried seaweed. I recently shifted the rocks a bit while I was adding a new fish. (my damsels are great) Since then, he has refused romaine lettuce and seaweed and will only eat the flake food. What should I do? His coloration has improved a ton, and he doesn't have the scapal out, which means he isn't stressed out. This is giving me a headache.
