The fresher the food the better. NLS is the best dry food imo. I've used it for years, have found it to be the best food for long term success with morish idols and other hard to feed fish. Doesn't always work but the fish that eat it seem to think its ice cream. :-D

My fish all love it and I also use the NLS flakes too. Only brand I'll use as I've had great success w/ it.

My fish eat it, but honestly I dont notice them going after it any better than any other dried foods.

NLS are a great dry food! However, the best thing for your fish is variety. Offer them dry food, frozen food, flake food, and nori/romain (expecially for tangs). My prev tank had auto fish feeder that fed them NLS 2x a day, in addition to that I put romain and nori strips in the tank everyday along with a couple blocks of frozen mysis, brine, and squid.
Good Luck!

My clowns and Sixline Wrasse will eat anything.
However, the only dry food my Anthias, tangs, and trigger eat (aside from Nori) is NLS Pellets.
The anthias take the very small sinking pellets, and the tangs and trigger take the medium size.
I use the Thera A pellets. They devour them , so I haven't been inclined to try the other varieties yet.

NLS is pretty much all I feed except for frozen foods a few times a week.

Ya I only feed NLS Thera A, my Coral Beauty will often get a few mysis when I spot feed my Duncan though. I have only had good experiances from NLS, like saving my Coral Beauty's life.

NLS is great... I wish I had found it earlier... tricky to feed, but the fish get the best nutrition from it...
interestingly enough the developer of NLS recommends feeding his food and his food ALONE, as it has the most complete nutritional profile for all fish herbivore and carnivore alike... I must say, i've never seen fish heal fins and color up better with any other food.
bio-enhanced mysis is the best I ever found for coloration and vitality... until I found this... this stuff is great.
I bought a yellow watchman goby, the guy was ghost white and and ate one pellet of the stuff on day one, one pellet day two... by day three his color fully and completely returned... i bought him at the LFS and he'd been sporting that color for a while... but he was in a dark tank so i didn't know how bad until i put him under my 20k HQI ballast radium...
great food for tangs too, they gobble it up... i would recommend getting the small fish formula (0.5mm sinking pellets) or flakes for small fish... the 1mm pellets seem hard to eat for anything under 2.5" which is a lot of fish.
that's my only criticism, for a large reef tank with small, medium, and large fish, you'll need 0.5, 1, and 2 or 3 mm really.. but the stuff lasts forever, it's very nutritionally dense, 1 pellet per inch of fish 2x a day is really all they need for some great nutrition... my fish actually get FULL on these things... blows my mind.
everybody loves them... and CUC seem to mop them up quickly... fish seem to have trouble "seeing" them is the only problem i seem to have, they get used to it really quick tho!

try them let me know how they do, my cardinal is the only fish of mine who doesn't eat them, but he doesn't eat anything but mysis, he's spoiled.
