Do tangs and angels like to eat chaeto?  Would it be a bad idea for any reason to put some on a veggie clip in my display tank?

My tangs dont generally like to chaeto. They do like to eat any type of calurpa i put in there, but to keep it cheap i like to buy nori from the asian section of the supermarket its a few bucks for a big bag (its meant to be seaweed wrap for sushi/sushimi but hey the tangs dont care)

Thank you both.  No harm if they should take a liking to the chaeto, though, right?

shouldn't be any harm.  It is a green plant.  Don't see what the harm would be.  I think the cheato is more useful in the sump to grow little pod critters for my fish who eat pods.  The asian markets, I go to the one off of 90th south and near state street, is the cheapest place to get the nori, and seaweed and frozen fish parts for making fish/coral food.  I am just starting to learn the making food part, but the nori I put in a clip with like a plastic mesh wire on it to keep it in place and my foxface and my tangs all eat it.  Even my triggers hit at it sometime for a bite.

Yeah I dont think it is the most nutritious algae but shouldn't cause any harm.

Update:  The small bundle of chaeto I put in my veggie clip dissappeared in a day.  So it was either the hippo tang or the emperor angel.  Will try more this evening and see if I can catch one of them in the act!
