How do you feed nori

Just a rubber band. No one in my mixed reef eats rubber bands

. My aggressive reef on the other hand, different story! Like yours my clown trigger will eat rubber bands but won't eat the nori LOL. I don't typically feed nori to my aggressive tank. I don't know why but no one in there really likes nori.

Have you tried different colours? When my tangs were little they only ate the red would not touch the green and purple.

I wrap 2 sheets of Nori on this specially made nori holder and strap it down with 4 small rubber bands....my little piggies graze on it all day

I use one of these clips and just hang it in the tank with some fishing line tied off at the top. When my fish are done I pull it up and rest it on the side. The only problem I've ever had is my snowflake eel actually broke the fishing line once when it tried to eat the algae... http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/fd...ip+-+Each.html

I do exactly the same. 2 sheets for the 225g and 1/2 sheet for the 90g.

She got it from Poontang. He makes them. I believe Oceanic Corals sells his holders.............................I know you can speak for yourself Marie, but I'm a blabbermouth and can't help myself.

i do similar i wrap nori around a cup and use elastics to keep it down i put it in different places and they are forced to graze because they cant tear it up
