When I saw the pic I thought to myself, he was actually getting his training in or role playing for when he makes it back out to the wild/real world where its probably more common than we all want to admit for beautiful fish like this to get tied up in our human trash/plastic. Glad he is now ready to deal with whatever life throws at him!!!!

 

[AllSignsPointToFish]

He needed a racing stripe! Seriously, hope everything works out!

 

[HuneyBear]

what Kind of animal training you got going on over at your place? Is Mario Lopez on R2R?
But, on a serious note i Can’t believe that didn’t cause it to go into total rocket mode and basically injure or panic itself to death.

In my 30+ years of keeping marine fish, what happened yesterday has never occurred. I look at my 120 reef last night after feeding and my 14 y o purple tang has a rubber band around his entire body. I use a rubber band to secure seaweed to a small rock on a string for my tangs. Seldomly, I’ve noticed that they’ve pulled the rubber band off the rock, and left it in the tank out of difficulty getting to it among rocks. I remember my big blue tang passing a rubber band from anal cavity a long time ago, but nothing like this! I’m thinking of using the clip I have, but they pull the whole piece of seaweed off of it and it makes a mess. Anyways, I was able to net him and as I attempted to remove it, it broke, which I think would have happened eventually, but I didn’t want to take chances. It didn’t look good.

Bless his heart...he was hungry!!!! Lol!!!

You need to use the Super Veggie Clip with the strong big magnet and fold your nori sheets multiple times into a 2" x 3" piece and it should last.

Tang: Found a cool new hat

Owner: Lol Nope.

Thinking more "Borat" style

Sorry to see that...but it is kinda silly!
I have a very rambunctious tang that used to pick up the rubble rock I'd wrapped with seaweed with a rubber band and Chuck it against the glass. He was obnoxious about it!!! So I bought this with the mesh and used 2 clips to attach a tightly rolled up piece of nori to the glass. That fixed him...and it didn't make a mess in the tank. Plus everybody get to share, it not just for the piglet tang, LOL

That horizontal stripe makes him look fat. Major fashion faux pas.

 

[Aquarist76]

That guy is 14 years old? Doesn't seem like he got very big. How big is he?

 

[Fish_Sticks]

You should be proud! Your tank is simulating the natural environment with ocean pollution and all!

I always used rubber bands also as I made my own magnet seaweed holder with a plastic tube.
I had a sailfin tang for 15 years that did eat a few rubber bands and pass them through the years. Then all of a sudden the sailfin stopped eating. There was nothing else wrong with him. I kept telling my daughter I bet he ate a rubber band and it got stuck.
Sadly he did end up dying. My daughter wanted to know for sure so she cut him open and sure enough there was a rubber band in him. I really miss that fish he had a lot of personality.
I still can't figure out how yours got one around it like that.

Omg I feel bad, but thank you for the laugh today!

I usually fold my nori lengthwise put it on a clip and cut it into strips. My tangs used to just to rip off the entire sheet also.

I shouldn’t be laughing, but it is hilarious

Tang looks at the clown and says......hold my beer
