My list of herbivores:
Yellow tang
Naso tang
Orange shoulder tang
Blue tang
Foxface
2 pincushion urchins
1 tuxedo urchin

It seems like only the orange shoulder tang and the tuxedo urchin are eating the diatoms. Is this normal? I expected all these herbivores to go to town on the diatoms.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
