Are you hanging some seaweed for him on a clip? Are there some aggressive fish in the tank? I think sailfins are the most timid of all tangs. I have one, but he is always out and about.
Try some purple seaweed from julian sprung on a clip. My tangs love the stuff. Kristin |

yes offer it some algae as it will likely be used to grazing all day long
perhaps it is still being accustomed to your tank, give it another week or so |
