Some people like to say to give the Tangs Romane lettuce, brocolli, etc. I don't really agree with this, cause they don't eat much and it just makes a mess in the tank. Plus, these foods don't really have a whole lot of nutrients that the fish can use...
Try giving them a great seaweed. Seaweed selects has some great stuff that fish love to devour...
Also, I have had some god awful experiences with lettuce clips
You put a small piece of seaweed or something in there, and WHAT A MESS!!!!!!
Now, twice a day I just break off 2 very small pieces of seaweed, let them sit in some tank water for a few minutes, and throw them in.
The fish devour it in no time, and there is just about zero mess
Also, Spirulina flakes are great. They love 'em. Your Tangs will also love some meaty foods like Brine Shrimp, which is fine as long as they're getting their vegetation as well...
Just my opinion...
Well, a lot of people on this board know a lot more, so I'll shut up now and let them answer

For the tang and angle I would get a lettuce clip and put some lettuce or a green on it once every other day. I would also feed a frozen food that had spirula in it ( the clown will eat it too) I would feed that on the days you don't put the letttuce clip in and on the days you do put the lettuce clip in I would feed brine shrimp or blood worms (frozen or live).

I agree that Romane is bad,But broccoli is full of vitamins.especially A,and C. If you can get them to eat it. Mine will pick at the tips,but I figure if they eat even a little,it's better than none. I also feed shrimp,seaweed selects,and Aquadine flake.All treated with ZOE alternatly.STEVE

I was putting brocolli in for a while...
My Tang was picking a bit
I like brocolli more than most things cause it doesn't make too much of a mess.
But, a couple of times I forgot to take it out for a day and WOW
That stuff goes bad quick, doesn't it
haha... It stinks
I've never seen Mysis shrimp. I'm gonna look for it at the lfs...
