Feeding the herbivores

[Shilpan]

Hey everyone!
Just a quick thank you for all the help by the way, got rid of my cyano and bubble algae completely.

I have a 105 gallon tank, 4foot length. Stock is soft corals, 2 occellaris clowns, fairy wrasse, bangaii cardinal. 15 gallon quarantine tank.

This weekend Im thinking about buying some fish. I might try a lawnmower blenny, or mandarin goby or cleaner shrimp, or a yellow watchman goby or a fox face. I'll pick 2 off this list.

1) For the herbivores on that list if I just add nori once a day is that enough? Or does their diet require additional supplementation?

2) anything wrong with those fish choices with my stock? (Obviously the mandarin is risky and not a good idea)

Really the only herb is the fox. Sea weed 3× a week is plenty. The lawn mower is a bad name bc there diet is actually more then alage. Alot don't make it bc of that fact. If you want the best for success on your list go with a fox, yellow watch and cleaner shrimp. Inverts don't per say add to your live stock total

Thanks for your input jay I think a foxface with 3x a week seafood is manageable.

Appreciate it!

I suppose once I added the foxface it will Be difficult to add smaller peaceful fish like blennies and gobies afterwards because it becomes territorial eh?

Awesome thanks!

One more fish as they just go to this in, sailfin tang or naso Tang's. Do you think my 105gallon is too small for one of these?

Its not the gallons but the length yes. 6ft min. Look at a kole or yellow
