Chaeto is the best for a fuge. It doesn't root and won't go sexual and pollute your tank.

None of my tangs really love chaeto. Nori sheets are better received.

I dont feed my fish macro alge IMO it is a exporter of nutriunts why put it right back in feeding your fish?

That would be the same for all algae. Even if you're feeding Nori that is putting waste in the tank from wherever it was collected. I feed my tangs Chaeto and Caulerpa. All of the Caulerpa is gone so now I feed Nori.
