i have a naso tang thats in QT almost ready to transfer to clean QT then to DT ive been feeding mysis and nori and flake foods and its been eating really well but the mysis are so small i dunno if hes getting really full should i start feeding reef frenzy? need some suggestions on some larger chunky foods i feed nori and hikari mysis and flake foods pretty much exclusively but im looking to add some more chunky foods i feed to my DT i generally feed 2 hikari mysis cubes a day and nori every other day


1x sailfin tang
2x tomato clownfish
2x square anthias
1x coral beauty angel
1x swallowtail angel
1x one spot rabbit
1x hippo tang

currently in QT
2x pyramid butterfly fish
1x chocolate tang
1x naso tang
 
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
 
I have a large blonde naso & hippo that like LRS herbivore and reef frenzy
 
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
