I've been giving my 4" Purple Tang a 3"x3" piece daily, now I'm feeling guilty about underfeeding. Seems fat but could explain why he likes the mysis so much.

Mine still eats tons of mysis. I think they like meat quite a bit.

Mine took a while to get onto mysis but loves it now.

3 pieces 6"x2" twice a day for the Purple Tang and Moorishs. The Purple Tang is going to have to go on a diet soon due to its roundish figure.

I feed Nori once every two-four days.
I worry about possibly being forgetful and leaving the clip covered portion in my tank to rot...

Default Nori around a pipe

Diomededs - I roll my nori around a piece of 1/2" pvc and hold it in place with elastic bands in zigzags then hang the pvc from a zap strap or string into the tank. I find this method allow the entire piece of nori to be eaten and doesn't allow that small piece of nori to be left in the clip to rot.

Default Noramaki

It has also been suggested, that you can wrap the nori around the PVC and hold it on with a sleeve of gutterguard. This allows 100% fish service without any nori not being able to be eaten as under a clip.

For some reason, my blue tang and foxface completely ignore nori when on a clip or strapped to pvc. The only time they'll eat nori is if I break it up into small flakes, soak it, and dump it in my tank

There you go spoiling your fish again ... let them fend for themselves ... after a couple days they will be tearing it off the pvc
