this is not only true but strongly recommended.

some tangs will eat lettuce and other veggies but you are far better off and there is much more nutritional value in feeding dried seaweed ( AKA nori ). most recommend feeding dried seaweed at least 3 times a week to strengthen their immune system and keep them fat and happy. my purple tang wont even wait for me to finish putting the nori in the tank before he attacks, absolutely loves it.

I feed my tank dried seaweed every other day. All my fish go crazy for it.

That story reminds of when I coached minor baseball a few years back. I had this kid on my team whose father had to continually tell me how he had played semi-pro ball in the Cincinnati Reds organization. He would have made it to the show but for the fact that he sustained an elbow injury and couldn't throw in the high 90's anymore.
Anyway, one day my helper didn't show up so I asked this guy if he wanted to help out with the practice. He hemmed & hawed and had all kind of excuses. Finally, some of the kids insisted he play because his son had told them how good a ball player he was.
Well, the guy totally embarassed himself. He had obviously never played ball in his life. He couldn't catch, throw or hit. He was so bad, that the 12 yr. old boys were laughing at him. I kind of felt sorry for him until he said, "I must be a bit rusty, haven't played for a few years."
