I am looking for suggestions on feeding a Powder Blue Tang. I am currently using sheets of Nori, should there always be some on the clip? or is there an amount per day (it is the only fish that eats it)? I also have some macro in the tank it can pick at, as well as, some Turf Algae on some of my live rock. I feed my other fish a mix of frozen plankton, frozen mysis, flakes, and pellets but it doesn't seem to interested in any of these. I posted a pic, my first, sorry if I screw it up.

You're right on...leave some on the clip at least every other day and also feed frozen reef variety pack along with others of your choice. The more diverse the diet the better if you can get'm to eat it...:thumbsup:

Thanks for the input. I will probably pick up some Emerald Entree to add to the mix.

Mine is an absolute eating machine. It took him awhile to get going, but now there's nothing he wont eat. I've had him for two years this May.
