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:

 
Yup, for as much as he is a spaz he seems to do well.
 
I open up the clip and remove the remaining nori and hand feed it to my Gold Rim and Potter's wrasse who eat it from my hand.
 
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.
 
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.

I would do that but my Foxface is such a spaz, I don't trust him with his venomous spines and random spike up moments.

Been doing it for months. They love it. The Hippo and the sailfinn compete with the fox face
 
Glad to see I'm not the only one.

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! :)
 
All the wrasses gather around just in case he drops a little.
