So I wanted a nori clip that I could move around in my tank so I didn't have to reach into my tank and get my arm all wet. So I took a standard plastic nori clip that you can find at pretty much any saltwater fish store and an old magnet glass cleaner that I had laying around and glued them together. Granted I know this isn't that impressive and I believe they may already be something similar on the market, but made this with what I had laying around and now whenever I want to feed nori, I can slide the magnet to the surface, add nori, then move the clip wherever I want it in the tank.

I did it for my scribbled rabbitfish, which hangs out close to it even when it empty, like its trying to tell me that 23hours is to long for it to be empt.

Nice idea. There are a few magnet clips out there, but none that only cost a couple dabs of glue and some parts that you already have :)

Great Idea using things we all probably have laying around from over the years.

I mostly got tired of reaching into my tank just to feed. Im of the mind set that the less we have our hands in the tank, the better it does. Especially when all the oils on our hands are transferred to the tank. Who know what havoc it does to the corals in a small nano aquarium like mine.

I posted a video to youtube of the scribbled rabbitfish actually eating nori from the clip along with my clownfish eating from it as well.
