Hey guys I had a question. Whenever I feed my brown tang seaweed I clip it on a old mag clip I have. My problem is is that my PBT Jerry always goes ham on it and rips it off or the seaweed gets to wet i guess and tears off on its own. Is there a way I can avoid this? Picture of my clip is attached:

I use the gourmet grazer. Not incredibly satisfied with the price point compared to quality, but it works better than the clip for keeping algae from being immediate ripped to shreds.
 
Haha, add another clip?

Seriously though, unless you can satiate the powder blue before adding the clip, it is unlikely. I would feed them independently, but simultaneously if possible. From what I know of tangs, they are grazing fish, so they could benefit from multiple clips in the tank, replenished as needed. If you cut the seaweed like you would an old telephone pole flyer (you know, the part you put your phone number), it will simulate natural seaweed...

Also, perhaps you can find 'thicker' seaweed. The stuff I have (no idea what brand, I probably bought it in bulk at an Asian market a long time ago), is super thick and I have seen it last a couple days in the water (on the clip).
 
^^^ yup, try cutting the sheet so that there are strips. The pbt should only be able to rip the seaweed off strip by strip.
