Should I add Caulerpa algae to tank for fish to eat?

I found some place that sells Caulerpa algae and was wondering if it was a good idea to buy some and put it in my tank for my Regal Tang and maybe the Angel fish to eat. Has anyone done this?

YES this would be a good idea,the only drawback is that they will eat it so quickly,you will be ordering a new shipment every week.That will get pretty expensive.I would suggest getting freeze dried seaweed sheets,Like SEAWEED SELECTS.....

I tried feeding my regal tang and my emperor and flame angle this stuff, but they just picked at it. My longnose butterfly loved it!
I think the rest of them are just hooked on the seaweed selects!

Maybe I will try some, I already give them seaweed selects, but thought that they should have the real thing once in a while. :)
 
Goofiones, add it! Your fish will eventually devour it. Also, go with what Trey said and set up a seperate tank for growing it...or a refugium!
