yah, I've had to. In fact the only way for me to keep nori on the clip long enough for the PBT to get any is to either drop two clams in on the other side of the tank to distract/fill up the cowfish before I put the nori in. If I've already fed too many clams that day, I'll have to put in a 6 inch sheet, let the cowfish eat all of it in two bites, then put in another 3-4 inch sheet which the cowfish will ignore for 10 or 15 minutes.

cowfish are adorable, but good lord are they vacuums. 50% of the food that goes in the tank is for him specifically, and I've got 21 fish. If he doesn't get his morning clam, he'll make up for it by munching on a rather expensive colony of SPS.

Well I'll try and up the amount of nori I put in, are you recommending selcon as an appetite stimulant or for medicinal reasons?
