Any suggestions on fish snacks?

Hi everyone, I hope you all are doing well.
I have a 75 gallon tank currently inhabited by 2 false percs, a niger trigger, a yellow-tail damsel, and a foxface rabbitfish. Fortunately they are all doing fine on the flake food but I want to mix up the diet to give them a little more variety.
What are some relatively easy snacks you could prepare for an occasional feeding? I've read some stuff about dicing up shrimp and clams and marinating in garlic but was looking for some good ideas from you guys given your experience.
Thanks for your help!

The rabbitfish will appreciate seaweed, either presented on a clip or attached to a piece of rubble with a rubber band.

If you search around the forums, you will find some recipes for mush that members make for their tanks. That might not be what you would consider simple, though.

Also, I believe a Niger Trigger will outgrow a 75 gallon aquarium. They get quite large.

Wonderloss, thanks for the reply. The niger will be out of the 75 long before he even gets 6 inches long, he's currently just a little guy, about 2-3 inches. I just introduced the foxface a couple days ago and he is already pretty inquisitive looking for growth on the rocks so I'm sure he'll love some seaweed on one of those clips.
Thanks again.
