Nori is really all your Tangs need to fulfill their dietary needs.
What I am questioning is the fact that sheets of Nori are all that Tangs need. It might be true that they can survive on just Nori, but I doubt that is all they eat in nature. I suppliment with macro algae from my fuge, bubble calurpa and chaeto.

Just put it under a glass cleaning magnet and leave it for the day. They will surely find it and start to pick at it. All tangs should eventually eat nori really.

I use a glass cleaning magnet to attach mine to the side of the tank. Now that everyone has it figured out it is a regular free for all and quite a challenge getting it in there as my one big angel fish likes to bite.
