best algae sheets for tangs? please advise!

[confusedfishy]

I want to add some algae sheets for feeding my tangs, I have a powder brown and a colt (yellow eye) in the tank. Are brown sheets the best?
Thank you for your help and expertise!

mine like anything that says "nori" from the super market tangs will also eat other greens like lettuce and spinach

I get nori from wal-mart, it seems too hold together better than other sheets. My Tangs love it and are healthy as can be. I have a hippo, naso, yellow, and powder brown in my 240. Also the nori is cheap, under $2.00

I like Sea Veggies. Plain and simple, look at the nutrional value differences.

I could not get my tang to eat nori from the supper market. I tried Sea veggies purple sea weed sheets from Two little fishies brand aquarium food and he loved it I was then able to switch over to the supper market nori with not problem

Interesting....
under what isle or department are they located?

My hippo will only eat green algae sheets (same thing as nori) that you get at the LFS, but my sailfin and convict will eat any algae stuck in the tank (I currently use purple and green often). They're all basically the same, it just depends what you can get easier and is more affordable. The nori at the grocery can cost less but some grocery stores don't carry it.

All Asian specialty stores have nori also look for a supper market like publics or sweet bay that sells sushi
