The flavor and nutrients are still intact (never roasted), so your tangs, angels, and rabbitfish get the real thing: a constant grazing food that mimics what they'd be tearing off live rock in the wild.

A wafer of pellets at feeding time isn't enough — they need to graze for hours like they would in the wild.
