Ok here’s what I bought and what ended up workin for me

Started with this for like 20$
24 sheets each, total of 2.4 oz
My tomini would not touch any of this.

Then on the forum I was reccomended a bulk pack of nori for 15$. It comes with 100 sheets, that are much larger than these thin ones, and a total of 6.7 oz.

It’s way cheaper, larger sheets and more of them, and my Tomini eats it. Not right away. But I used the same method I explained above and he started eating this stuff from the clip. Worth a shot

I seriously appreciate all of this info! Very helpful! Thank you kindly!

Also, my tomini is very skittish also. Even after 3 months. I have to stand still for a minute before he comes out.

If I’m far away I see him peacefully grazing and exploring but he darts and hides when I approach.

It’s gotten better, but he’s definitely skittish and shy. Working on overcoming by feeding and staying present during feeding (frozen mysis, frozen plankton, copepods) so he learns to associate me with food

That is exactly like my Tang too. And I'm doing the same thing. It's slowly getting better!
