My cherub angel has never showed interest in nori when I feed it.

I don't think he'll really eat that nori just make sure you feed him an omnivore diet fish food and he'll be fine. He's a nibbler but it probably includes things like sponges, tunicates, worms, not so much algae.

The foods mine most likes are lrs foods, Rods Food, pe calanus, fish eggs, tbs angel blend, mysis, brine, and most dry foods. Not much interest in the greenery or VERY small frozen foods I feed like cyclops and baby brine. They'll eat most meaty and dried food offerings. They also pick constantly. Mine eats 2x a day 1 dry meal one frozen meal. Had it about 2 years and has doubled in size.

Thanks alot probably will pick up some cyclops does the packaging say cyclopod? And is it hikari brand?

Brine shrimp is worthless. Very little nutritional value. I feed mine mysis, eggs and TDO.

My cherub angel never went for nori either. I’ve noticed he loved pe calanus and fish eggs most. But will also eat mysis when he is hungry and competing with my other fish in my tank. If I’m feeding him dry foods TDO is a good choice.

I second took that brine isn't a great staple food. I don't agree that it's worthless it's got plenty of protein and fatty acids, but it's not very nutritionally dense. Mysis, eggs, and pellets are much more nutritionally dense. TDO is a brand of pellet food. People usually either recommend TDO pellets or NLS pellets.

Also cyclops is one of the foods I said my cherub DOESN'T really eat. The SFB Angel blend or fish eggs, or PE mysis/calanus would be what I'd recommend you pick up specifically for the cherub angel

If you can get it, the BEST food just for a cherub angel IMO if I were feeding only 1 thing would be LRS Reef Frenzy Nano, but it may not be available in your area.

Keep feeding that! That's absolutely your best option! Looks like you're on top of things. Relax, and make sure not to over feed/helicopter parent

They absolutely eat microalgae-- they graze it all day. If you're concerned that you're not giving enough algae, feed it spirulina mysis. I've had several over the years and I've never had them go for nori.
