Who else does this with their Foxfaces or Tangs?

Anyone else use them to clean off the remaining seaweed/nori from the inside of the clip? I simply open up my clip and my One Spot cleans off what is left:

When I place the new Nori into my clip, I just push the old piece out and it fall into the water, the fish finish it off in 15 seconds and tackle the new Nori as I drop the clip into the water.

I toss in a 1/2 sheet of nori and the tangs pull it under and shred it in a frantic tug of war. I got tired of fetching the clip off the bottom after they kept pulling the clip off the side during the nori tug of war.

Not wanting the snails ant the abalone to eat the Nori, they have to earn their food by eating the algae off the rocks, I suspended the Nori clips from the top near the water surface. Only fishes can eat this Nori and it does not float all over the place and not block the overflow. I put enough Nori into two clips for the fishes to finish it by the later afternoon. My tangs are fat.
Here is one of them.

Your fish needs a diet.

Yep! In my 500 gal FOWLR the puffers and triggers swallow the entire sheet(s) of algae whole so I have to rip in pieces and toss in to be blown around and torn at for 30 mins or so. So much for grazing... In the 180 reef i do this! :)
