An interesting SPS. This coral makes quite a feeding response with addition of Reef Roids to the tank.

Looks good but I’m sure this is considered a LPS.

Correct, my typo, LPS. Thanks.

I took the advice and bought some Nori. Rolled it up in the lettuce clip. The fish devoured it. I swear the fish have gained weight, eating the Nori through the weekend, lol (with pellet food as well).

Get yourself a nori nibbler. Makes much less of a mess. Beautiful tank.

Amazing tank! Where did you purchase your tangs?

 

[richards]

Thanks! Fat and happy juvenile purple tangs from ORA via World Wide Corals. Mostly skinny and peculiarly rather tiny yellow tangs from Biota. The purple tangs have grown dramatically. A couple of the yellows have grown, and two yellows remain rather tiny by comparison, and one of the tiny yellows was sold with a birth defect.

Happy to have sourced. Largely peaceful the past eight months, they all school together. Fins recently show bites this spring...hmm...but, then, I added an imported Sohal late last year. No aggression when broadcast feeding. Minimal Sohal aggression towards the purple tangs only when I first place Nori in the clip.

Best wishes

We are lucky to have so many (asian) farmer's market around us that this is so readily available for us. I see on other forums or on subreddits where people have to order it on Amazon or pay ridiculous prices at their LFS for simple seaweed.

I was surprised to be able to purchase pure seaweed, without flavoring or oils so predominant with sushi seaweed.....thanks for the encouragement.

I picked up a green polyp leather at the club's recent frag swap...short tentacles, from Fiji.
