A typical daily tank feeding is:
5 tsp of small pellets (Formula 1 or 2 or mix)
1 x 8x8" Nori sheet
2 x 3/4" clams or mussels
2 x 1" rings of squid
2 x 1" tentacles of squid or octopus.

Sometimes 2 x 1" shrimp are substituted for the octopus.

The Lookdown only eats squid/octopus or pellets. It does not eat clam/mussels or Nori.
The N. vlamingi eats everything except fingers.
The N. elegans eats only pellets and Nori.
The wrasse eats everything except Nori.
The rest of the Tangs eat everything, but I think they prefer the clam and the Nori.

Here's tonight's dinner. There are only two pieces of Nori since they had the other half for lunch. Pellets are for lunch also.
