IslandReefer is on a distinguished road
Default formula 1 vs. formula 2

From the J&l website:
Formula1:
Description: Fresh seafoods and algae make this a gourmet natural food for all marine tropicals.......... Excellent for Clownfish and most other marine and freshwater tropical fish.
Crude Protein (min) 49.1%, Crude Fat (min) 11.3%, Crude Fiber (max) 2.4%, Moisture (max) 8%.
Formula2:
Description: Extra Algae with fresh seafoods make this a gourmet natural food for herbivorous marine and freshwater fishes. .......excellent for Surgeonfish, Angelfish, Butterfly-fish, African Cichlids, Plecostomus and other algae eaters.
Crude Protein (min) 46.7%, Crude Fat (min) 9.4%, Crude Fiber (max) 3.1%, Ash (max) 7.5%, Moisture (max) 8%.

as you can see the make up is similar with the formula 2 having more greens and slightly less proteinand formula1 more "meaty"
.....
FWTW: I use Formula2 pellets for my Tangs etc and mixed flake or formula 1 for the clowns, wrasse etc.
