I would offer both vegetable and proteinaceous foods to all your fish. Brine and Mysis shrimp soaked in vitamins is ideal along with seaweed to graze on through the course of the day for the Tangs.
Clam, Squid, Cyclopeze and rotifers are good for your filter feeders and corals.
Feed small amounts two to three times a day to reduce the chances of degrading your water quality.
Many times we over feed our corals due to the fact that we either do not know that or forget that many corals are symbiotic(relying on zooxanthellae) for most of their nutrients, or they absorb nutrients from the water or capture small organisms in our tanks!
Did you know that you could basically stir up some of your substrate, and the microscopic and very small organisms and detritus will be sufficient to feed most of your corals?
