    the tang will enjoy it as well as the others most likely. I would try a little and see how they react.

    Is it a veggie food? If so just use Formula 2. I've never heard of it, but I would stick with what is known to work, and Formula 2 is known to work. You can also supplement with live macroalgae. My Yellow Tang and Coral Beauty love live macro.

    It works well....but it does pollute the tank a bit. I feed it to them frozen, not thawed. If you thaw it, it goes everywhere. A little gets eaten and the rest just travels through the tank. It is a good product, and I do use it on occasion, but it is a little messy.

    Now my mainstay for my fish are Formula 1 and Formula 2 mixed together. That is working well for me.

    My fish love it, but I only use it about once a week.

    Much better to use Seaweed sheets, less crap in water and better than more natural feeding for tangs, mine love them. I only use the green one because they seem to stay together better.

    I use it one to two times per week for my yellow tang. I put it in one of those frozen food clips (looks like a plastic clip with plastic mesh to put food in). I thaw it out in a little cup and then I squeeze it in a paper towel to get as much of the juice and extra junk out before putting it in the tank. Seems to work well, and minimizes polution to the tank that way. The fish love it. Also I only feed every other day, so the little bits that do spread around the tank get taken care of pretty quickly by my clean up crew and the fish when they forage for food.

    I bought a multi-Pack and Emerald Entree came in there. I don't even have herbivores but all my fishes, crabs, shrimp and corals eat anything I put in the tank. I haven't had any "pollution" issues. I will not be buying a multi-pack any more for other reasons so once it is gone; It is gone.
