    I don't know about the grazing block, especially with a trigger and some wrasses. They don't really graze. That product may be made for smaller fish.

    Start with a base of NLS pellets, and rotate chopped seafood and nori. Chop the seafood, soak with Selcon and freeze flat.

    I get that. It may work when the fish are tiny babies, but not for long. With the fish in your list, it will be more of a feeding frenzy. The trigger and puffer are going to try to gobble the whole block down for themselves and the wrasses will be diving in like fighter planes. I haven't seen the actual size of the food you are talking about, but it seems a little expensive for the amount you get. ~$7 for 1.2 oz. I honestly think my fish would eat the whole packet at one crack.
