Anybody have a favorite nori?

HankstankXXL750 · Sep 6, 2022

I am looking for nori or dried seaweed that is solid enough that it doesn’t turn to mush or pull of the clip with the first fish hitting it?
So far nothing I have bought is anywhere close to what I bought 20 yrs ago. It would stay on the clip all day with tangs picking at it. Was able to let them graze, where the new stuff just falls apart at the first bite.
Any suggestions would be great. Links or where you buy online would be awesome as I don’t have a lfs closer than 2 hrs away.

Following. All the nori I’ve tried disintegrates, except for the Julian Sprung one.

I would like to find one that lasts so I can put it in in the morning and give them something to graze. Either they or my cuc keep the tank Algae free.
I have found that these three little fishies pouches help me keep it in check while they eat, but they clean three of them out in minutes.

I have been using this. I wrap it around a piece of 3/4 pvc and hang it with fishing line from the top of tank so it dangles in the water. Also soak it with selcon. All my Fish love

Same nori from Amazon, but I use a nori feeder. Tangs and wrasses do good with it. I cut the sheets in 1/2 and then stuff them in the feeder.

The red/blue is a mostly transitioned red coris wrasse, the one above it with the horizontal striping w/ green&red coloring is a melanurus wrasses. Great for pest control and overall decent tank mates.
