tangs need algae for there main diet.if the diet is based on shrimp it will make the tank fade + die

also try brocclie, spinach,greens, and alot of them .naso require a large established tank, if you do not provide these requirements it could have a tragic resaults

lettuce, iceberg i think. some lettuce is good for them. its better than algea. most crabs eat it too. im not exactaly sure, but i think its iceberg, it might be some other lettuce, just look it up, you'll find it!

iceberg would also work but dont limit yourself to just ice berg,naso tangs in captivity require alot of diffrent greens in ther diet.excluding.lettuce because of it unutritional value.
