New Regal Tang has wrinkled belly

just picked up a Regal from saltwaterfish.com. looks really good except the belly area was quite wrinkled. Is that normal with new arrivals?
 
Cliff,

My experience with that is that the tang is probably needing to just get fattened up. As soon as you can get him eating I would supplement even daily with seaweed on a clip and he should fatten up. I've had my 5 tangs in my 270 for almost two years and they've not had the wrinkled belly thing going on ever since I got them eating like pigs.

Hope that helps.

I thinka wrinkle belly is normal for a small regal. I bought mine from my local when he was about a inch, now he's 3 inches and his belly is fat. feed him at least 2 times a day and he will be just fine. this is my opinion.
