Convict Tang - how much algae?

My convict tang eats an amazing amount of algae - he is eating a full 4" x 6" or larger sheet of algae a day....

and I think he might be able to eat more if I put more in there!

Should I limit how much he's eating?

I would say one sheet of Nori per day should be enough. Does it also eat frozen foods?

He eats both frozen and flake during the day as well.
