any seaweed from supermarket will do (much cheaper), just make sure it is plain flavour without additional flavouring like chilli, salt, etc etc.

with a small tank like yours and the current livestock u have, its best if you keep an eye on the water parameters. The feeding and pooping will surely fluctuate your water parameters quickly. Don't over feed. just my two cents worth

Also, how is your mandarinfish doing? has it been eating?

mandarinfish requires a bigger tank coz they need to graze on liverocks for pods that it feeds on. And pods will be eaten much quicker than the colony can reproduce in a small tank with limited liverocks...which... will deplete the food source for the mandarinfish soon...

try encouraging it to eat if it has not been eating. cheers!

currently my mandarin is doing well, it had been pecking on my glass and liverock for pods.. Trigger is doing well too, not showing any aggresssive signs, living in peace wif my cleaner shrimp and mandarin
