You could get jumbo mysis, depending on size of Naso. Mine does fine with regular mysis and Reef Frenzy. He’s a fat boy. He’s at least 6 inches, maybe more. Never really measured. LRS does make a Chunky blend too

For me with 14 tangs,:

LRS herbivore diet
Formula 2 flake and frozen
Nori seaweed basted with garlic extract
Spirulina brine shrimp
Mysis shrimp3
small plankton
Rods foods

Add selcon vitamin periodically to its food along with garlic

Nori daily, couples clams on half shell for the whole tank daily (4 large Tangs and others), pinch of LRS Reef Frenzy with a cube of Mysis.

whole Reef goes nuts and when testing numbers are in check. 220 gallon aquarium
 

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