I'm looking for a green and red macro my fiah wont eat, I have a

-Yellow Tang
-Blue Hippo Tang
-might add a foxface

I figured I could use feather caulerpa for my green macro but I;m not sure of a red macro that my fish wouldnt eat or atleast would survive even with constant nibbling.
 
I originally wanted to use red kelp on a rock but it I was told it would die from the constant nipping. Is there any macro that can hack being nipped at by my fish? Its probably going to have to be pruned weekly anyway so I don't see why I cant let the fish have a go at it.
 
Some people say codium is safe since it looks like a noxious sponge. Also, my tang won't touch sawback caulerpa. He'll eat the grape stuff tho
 
I think I will use 2 different varieties of caulerpa ... feather one and a red variety (not sure of its name) From my experience any herbivore fish stays away from caulerpa as long as there fed other macros such as Gracilaria or Ulva which seem to be favorites among tangs.
