I wish we had a picture of this in the newbie section... something to do later.
Wrap it real good with the elastic, so only tiny bits can be torn off at once, otherwise you'll have strips and chunks of it floating around the tank - not so good.

Just about everywhere it seems now...
Saveon, safeway and even IGA carry nori now. It's in the asian aisle with the sushi stuff. Make sure you buy plain nori, not the salted or seasoned stuff. It's usually like $0.99 per 100 sheets.

So they are HUGE. Sorry. And, this is not my invention, I read about it on the boards somewhere.... HTH

Likely. The tang may take some time to realize that it can eat the nori. Perhaps provide smaller portions until then.

Yah, the cleaner shrimp will get it.
But, my cleaner eats everything he pulls off. Strange. I also try to put the nori in the tank in the morning and I take out any leftovers (usually none or very little) before I head to bed...
