I put my tangs in my refugium with cheatos and some different micro algae they started to eat straight away. This is my third try for tang seen in the past my tang keep dying of stress with many Ich on the body .

It's better for you to list your tank parameter. I don't really recommend powder blue tang. Maybe you try with easier tang like blue tang ?

Anyway back to the topic.

How long your tank has been running.

Ammonia

Nitrite

Nitrate ?

I don't think is possible to save the fish. But is possible to find the cause of the problem . Last thing you need to hope that is not disease

Did u qt ur fish? Ich, if serious, will wipe out your tank.

If your tank is a fowlr with no coral or invertebrates , you can consider dosing cupramine or prazi pro.

Your tank has ich. Tangs are ich magnet. No matter how many u put, it will contract with ich.

when u bought the tangs and put into your refug, they started feeding because the ich has not fully develop on the body yet. 

You should start curing the ich before putting in more livestock.

Haha all the tang ich magnet, I got better chances with blue tang because bought 2 with ich yet they recover and immune to it

I heard feeding fishes food with garlic can help prevent ich, is it true? I bought some Kent marine garlic concentrate to mix into my pellets to feed my fishes which includes yellow tang. Hopefully it works.

In my experience , enhance the taste for them to eat. If they eat they will be stronger / less weaker. As time goes by it will immune to ich.
