Hey is this normal? My little clowns about ~1.5" have quite the swollen bellies.

Was this pic taken right after feeding? Seems like over feeding. What are you feeding and how often?
 
1 cube spirulina brune shrimp, (frozen) 1x daily. Once inactive while I'll feed pellets.
1 sailfin tang.
2x clownfish.
1 watchman goby.
1 purple firefish.
1 pajama cardinal.
1 filefish.
1 coral beauty.
1 sixline wrasse.
Tang and filefish get 1 2x4 sheet of nori per day.
My sixline wrasse has the same issue but hes getting fat off the critters in the tank. Dont see him eating the brine shrimp.
