Is lettuce okay for a tang?

[Beemer]

My tang eats dried marine flake but does it need fresh green food e.g.
lettuce or is there something better than that?

romaine, or spinach is what i used for mine. after a while, the koran angel
copied my purple tang, and they shredded anything green i put in the tank.

Seaweed/dried algae is the best.

Iceberg lettuce from the grocery store is _horrible_ food (for humans and
fish), with almost no nutritional value.

However, many people feed tangs romaine lettuce. (You basically want _dark_
green leafy vegetables. Spinach can also work.)

Try Some Nori,

Its freezed dried and has a long shelf life Fold it up so it is in
about a 3inch square and place in on your vegi clip.

F.Y.I Nori is a seaweed that is used to wrap Sushi.
