Ya I think it makes a difference the way it is presented. The way I do it on a stick the nori has to be grazed off the stick like algae is grazed off a rock so it is a little more work. Where as if I use a vegi clip or just my hands the nori does get consumed a lot quicker. I need to re-evaluate my nori feeding tactics maybe. Great thread idea thanks!! :-D

i have a question on how you hold your nori on a stick.my crazy little clown trigger loves to bit the elastic band till they break then he will eat the nori as it floats around tank making a big mess

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
