Judges are still out on lettuce, though it is better than mysis. People have been feeding tangs lettuce for years and years. I did it for a couple of years and all my fish were healthy, anyways each their own. I would agree that Nori is better, Try to get spirulina flakes. If you find powdered spirulina it mixes well with a garlic/nori mush but dissipates rapidly. Flakes or pellets seem to be the best option, though again pellets sink quickly (at least the ones i've seen) and pollute if not cleaned up. Anyways from what i've read tangs feed almost exclusevly on green-blue algae (cyanobacteria/Spirulina) in the wild so i'm thinking that is defn your best bet. I also fed my tangs a lot of my prunings from various macroalgaes in my refugium. They really liked it. I had all kinds and they seemed to gobble it all up.
