So, while waiting for them to figure it out....do you just leave the same sheet hanging there for days, or change it out for a fresh one every day? Did you starve your Tangs of other foods? It's like they don't even see it and don't even know it's there.

Simple questions, I know, but thanx much,

I used to remove it from the tank after a couple hours if the fish didn't touch it. Once it gets good and wet it starts to break up into little floaty bits that no doubt would be in the very back of my tank where I couldn't reach them.

I never starved my fish of any other foods. I do believe I tried putting both selcon and garlic on it. The garlic is a definite attractant, they'd be hard pressed to ignore it.

I only left it in for a few hours...then I would put in a new one the next day...but all the while feeding regular foods...

Yeah, the nori definitely starts getting ugly after a day. I leave it overnight as my urchin and sea hare go for it then.

My tang didn't notice it at ALL at first. Just give it time. Be persistent.
