I feed nori almost every other day. I want my tangs picking at rocks to keep growing algae at bay. Can’t spoil them to much now!!

Could use that I suppose. Some times I use selcon to soak nori. But I mainly do this while fish are in QT!

Depends,
If the tangs are established in the tank, healthy, no pinched bellies, hlle etc etc, a few times a week/every other day is okay if they have adequate rockwork/room to graze.
If its a new addition, or is a baby /juvie, Id recommend everyday, and even twice a day in cases example- the half dollar size hippos you commonly see for sale should ideally always have nori offered to them.
I wouldn't recommend soaking foods like nori in garlic regularly long term, as it can possibly lead to renal function impairment in some fish.
If it is used as a enticement agent for a picky eater short term is no problem and useful.
Long term, Selcon is my go to nori "soak" but ideally food soaks/vitamins would be used with pellet foods.
Just my .02

Omega one already has vitamins and minerals added. I use 1/3 sheet of omega one a day for my three juvinile tangs as well as mixed frozen food and pellets every day for all my fish. Frozen gets soaked in selcon daily and garlic a few times a week.

When I got my tomini tang I noticed small areas of what I believe could be hlle so I’m trying to get his diet on track. Someone recommended amino mega. I’ll upload picture. If you zoom in you can see it.
