Algae wafers for tang?

[88471]

My cuc keep my tank completely algae free with the exception of coralline algae, and the nori disintegrates before my kole tang eats much of it. A friend told me he fed algae wafers for his tangs and cuc, and I had to try it out of curiosity. My fish are going to town on it. My kole is eating it much better than he does the nori...who knew? Is there any reason, I may not be aware of, that I shouldn't supplement their diets with these? The main ingredient is spirulina.

That’s really cool! Gorgeous kole tang! Love those guys.

I have to give it a try. I can’t think of any reason not to do it if the fish will eat it.

Thank you! I think I'll use these mini wafers daily and just use the nori as a treat on occasion then.

If your fish like it more, I don't see any reason to not feed them the wafers !

I feed these to my cuc once a week just to keep them from starving. About 4 tabs a week.

My pepermint shrimp and emerald crabs like it
Feed it once a week to them.
If I soak it first my pygmy angel and neon dottyback will eat it too.
