What do people feed their blue tangs?

[Markerum]

Just inherited a blue tang. What do they like to eat and how often? Any other advice on these beautiful creatures would be appreciated.

Mostly Nori which is dried seaweed.

Yes. Nori. And the formula 1 or 2....can't remember. The frozen green cubes.

They also graze on the tank's algae as they are true vegetarians.

Anything I throw in the water, my BT eats it: several types of pellets, flakes, mysis, brine, krill, etc. And I have lots of seaweed sheets (red, green, brown, and purple) on hand.

Mine too. He eats like a pig.
