Purple tang question

[littlefoxx]

I got a purple tang over the weekend. He is a good size, about 4-5 inches. Amazing healthy fish. Only issue is he LOVES nori so much he keeps ripping the clip off and that keeps falling on my corals!!! Anyone have a suggestion for a heavy duty clip??

I use the TLF veggie mag. He shouldn’t be able to pull that off.

The magnet is very strong
All of the suction cups ones I had went into the trash

This would solve the issue of the trigger ripping it off and it floating around the tank .
Is it magnetic ?

Yup, magnetic. You can see the magnet @ the end of the clip.

This one is. That’s what I use and I really like it as you can move it up and down and not have to put your hands in the water.

Does yours pop open unexpectedly?

Does yours pop open unexpectedly?

It used to until I figured out the 'sweet spot' on how much nori to fold and load. I use one sheet folded and that's it. My nori sheets are 8" by 8".

Or it seems people wrap it in a rubber band.

Yeah that’s by the best one I’ve used as well. I just told the nori up like 3 or 4 times and put it on clip. I have 6 and 7” tangs that can’t rip it off. More importantly the clip stays in the glass.

I fold mine 2x
The trigger and Mel wrasse rip chunks off and throw it around

So the pouch one lets them pull nori off but not have the full thing rip and float in the water??

This is what I do, just a rubber band around the top

I just suspended the Nori clip on a fusing line. Just at the water surface. He won’t be able to break the line and this keep the snails and sea urchin from eating it. I have a smart abalone that just know where the Nori clip it. He will munch on this clip unless i suspended it so he can’t get to it.

Yes, you might find little bits, but never the whole thing.

BulkReefSupply posted these have been discontinued. Many reviews say they are rusting. Anyone have this rusting issue? and how thick is this? 1.25" seems more like package dimensions than the thickness? is it more like 1/2"?
