Fish won't eat nori.

[seafan]

I have a a tang that loves to eat the calepura and bubble algae in my tank, but I was afraid that he wasn't getting enough protein so I put seaweed selects in my tank on a clip and he won't touch it.
How can I make him eat some.

Keep putting in small pieces on a clip or fastened to a rock and in time, he will get around to trying it. Once he starts, there will be no stopping.
I wish any one of my six tangs would eat bubble algae, but no such luck.
What kind is it?

 

[seafan]

Yellow tang, He only used to eat calepura, but when he depleted the amount in the tank he took to eating bubble.

I had a hard time getting my yellow tank to eat sea weed selects from the veggie clip. I changed and secured it to a piece of rock on the sand bed and now he goes crazy when I put it in the tank.

Now my crabs are eating it, but the tang still hasn't touched it. :x

Try frozen broccoli fluorets (thawed first) in a feeding clip.

I have one of those veggie clips that looks like a fish, and my real fish were really freaked out by it. What I do now is cut up some dried nori with scissors into little bits, rinse, and then throw that in the tank with some flakes or what ever else I am feeding that day.
