This tang is challenging, but can be won around to aquarium life if the aquarist is willing to start it off correctly.
A subtley beautiful and brilliantly colored fish when healthy and well acclimated. It takes attention and a willingness to provide it with what it needs to survive.
Because it is reclusive and avoids (rightly so!) humans, the fish must start off in a quarantine tank where it must confront the human and learn: not to fear humans; that humans provide food; and aquarium life is a good life. Quarantine provides the safety and security the fish needs after traveling from so far away. It gives time for it to learn to eat available foods, and to fatten up and be ready to enter the display tank. Also, since tangs attract Marine Ich and Marine Velvet, the quarantine is a fine opportunity to make sure it is healthy.
Provide algae daily, whether it eats it or not. Try frozen pods (mysis and brine shrimp). If these don't tempt it, try living foods (brine shrimp and mysis (bahia)).
Spend a lot of time in front of the fish, making no sudden or threatening moves. The patient aquarist is rewarded with a very personable pet that will often follow the aquarist around as much as its tank will allow!
