Looking to see what everyone feeds. I currently feed pellets and nori. Is the frozen foods worth getting to change things up?

Absolutely. I feed frozen if not every day, then every other day
+1 LRS Herbivore Frenzy is ideal for tangs. I also feed nori 2-3x weekly.

I will give it a try. My blue hippo always acts like he is starving when I feed pellets. I normally feed pellets twice a day and nori daily on a clip for them to pick on while I’m at work. See if I can find it locally
Frozen food will be better not only for your fish, but overall for your tank IMO. Our inhabitants are programed to eat little tidbits throughout the day, not 2-3 big meals. Frozen food better mimics this pattern as it breaks down and disperses through the tank as the fish eat. The smaller particles then feed smaller animal, all the way down to the juice.
With pellets, you can easily over feed a tank but still underfeed your fish...they appear hungry. With frozen food, you can still over feed the tank, but the fish are so much happier

My PBT is the only Tang in my tank that will eat pellets and then only PE pellets. I offer Julian Sprungs: green, purple and red algae. It's pretty cheap if you buy the bulk packs and vacuum seal them into smaller portions-- https://premiumaquatics.com/products/fishes-seaveggies-green-seaweed-bulk-pack-300gr.html The red algae was ignored at first but now gets destroyed immediately by the Purple and Foxface. Variety of frozen foods offered throughout the day.
I used LRS in the past and the "veggies" in the Herbivore Frenzy were pretty much ignored and destined for the overflow.

All my fish in the tank thoroughly enjoyed the LRS. Did put a tad too much. Kinda deceiving how much just a small bit breaks up to be. Will still feed the nori but need to get a different clip. By the time they start picking at it it winds up on the sand. Does anyone use this? And how well does it work?
