Leave a small sheet in the tank for it to graze on 3 or 4 times a week. They are voracious eaters and will devour it in a few hours. You can use a feeding clip, a mag float or use a rubber band to secure it to a rock.

Forgot to mention that yellow tangs will eat almost anything so you don't have to worry about the algae being it's only source of food. Mine eats flake, pellet, mysis, brine, clam, squid, silversides, krill, pieces of shrimp and cyclops.
