I have a young Virgate Rabbitfish that I have had for about 3 weeks. It eats pellets, mysis, pretty much everything...Quite an aggressive feeder.

I feed Veggie sheets every few days and it eats it voraciously. I added some Gracelleria to my sump and then clipped some of it to the DT and it LOVES it.

My question is how often can/should I clip the live macro in the tank?

I swear it looks like it will bust at the end of the day when its had a piece in there. It's like cookies, it just keeps going back and back until it's gone. Well, it's like me with cookies...

I really like feeding it the live macros, not near as messy, sadly the Kole tang isn't really interested in it. Have some Ulva arriving this week, will try that.

It is primarily herbivorous, so having regular access to macroalgaes is good. Variety is also good.
