Feed it as much as they want, mine get sheets often and romaine lettuce also
Try local grocery stores for the sheets in the ethnic food aisle some sell them for sushi and alot cheaper

How do you feed the romaine? Do you put it on a one of those feed clips?

Yeah just buy an algea clip and put it in there or you can rubber band it to a small rock

I have the veggie clips that mount to the side of the tank, kind of just like a powerhead... keeps my forearms and hands dry using them.

Feed the tangs as much as they can eat. Its recommended to give them something to graze on 24/7. Its difficult to do. Nothing better than seeing a tang in a tank look like they do in the ocean.. FAT!

If your going to feed romain, its best to blanch it first.

It took my tangs a couple of days to figure out the art of grazing on the sheets, but now they simply devour it when it gets into the tank.. Along with the wrasses and just about everyone else.. it's like a free for all. I'm starting to think I need to use two clips on either side of the tank to satisfy the bunch. You'd think I don't feed these guys.

This is what I have been doing. All six of the fish in my tank love the garlic infused nori that I drop in there... well, maybe not the flame hawkfish, but all five of the other fish do.
