Go to a local sushi restaurant and ask for a sheet of nori. They'll probably give it to you for free

One problem... Purple Tangs can be prics in the aquarium, especially towards other tangs. Chances are he's bullying the PBT. The above posters' advice is good, but if you can't get it to eat, you'll have to part with one or the other.
