My tangs did not go for nori at first. My kole tang was the first to enjoy it. Once the yellow saw the kole gobbling up nori, the yellow deciced that it was edible. Left to his own devices, it might have taken some time for the yellow to come around.
if you have any foxface family fish, they will eat anything including their favorite seaweed. Have them starve for 2 days then feed them only seaweed straight for few days.
The foxface will start ripping seaweed and Tangs will follow.
