Random Tang Grazing Questions

Hey,

Recently acquired two small tangs (two spot kole, half-black mimic both less than 2.5"). They're in a 75g w/ a pygmy angel and marine betta.

Both graze constantly, but I'm a little concerned about the established algae population in the tank. The tank is less than a month old (I recently transferred from a 55g tank so the system itself is fairly old). Neither are eating nori rubberbanded to rocks. Both are eating when I feed flake/pellets and pecking away at the rock/glass, but wanted to make sure they were getting enough food throughout the day. Would the 50lbs of live rock have enough surface algae for them? Is there a particular micro-algae I should buy? Anything I can do to get them to eat the nori?

Thanks
 
They will eat Nori, give them time.My Kole took 3 weeks before it fully started demolishing whatever food I put in the tank.I use Ocean Nutrition Green Nori.When I feed frozen, I feed Rods Herbivore blend.My tangs love it.
