I think you are going to need to give more info on what you are trying to do. Do you want food for your tang and angel or something they won't eat thats nice to look at? I don't believe there is much you can keep they won't eat, and anything you add will probably be eaten faster than it can grow, so if constant food is what you are after you'll probably need to grow it in a fuge or seperate tank.
