Default Kole tang skinny and not eating - HELP!

This is not a new fish, I have had him in my reef tank for over a year. (75g reef/fish). I did switch brands of food but he won't even eat the old brand, he just avoids it or spits it out. My damsles, starfish, and cleaners are doing fine. Any suggestions?

Yes, and I just tried brine shrimp and he seemed to eat a couple, but I don't think that will keep him alive.....

Have you tried garlic? I got a large yellow tang and he wouldn't touch anything. I started soaking my algae in Kent Extreme and he finally started to eat.
