Hand feeding my vegetarian sharks

Small nori sheet folded several times.

My yellow tang is the most patient, i can caress him while he munches away at my finger tips. Him and the blue tang have sand paper like skin same as sharks? makes them more hydrodynamic i guess. Pretty cool, the toby is smooth and soft.

 

just keep on mind that the hippo has spikes lol

do the same thing with my foxface

 

All them tangs have spikes... I have to hand feel all 4 of my tangs. Having a Large Naso means the greens dont stay in the clip or the clip doesnt stay on the wall. Much more fun too. I cut mine into thin strips that they can tear off in a bite or two and then they inhale the whole piece. MIne are Very wild when it comes to their Nori. Just recently my CBB is starting to come up and is somewhat interested but has yet to eat any, but everyone else gets into the frenzy..

Neat trick for feeding Nori to tangs. - YouTube

 

Nice. I hand feed my cleaner shrimp sometimes. I wish I had the space for a ccb in my tank. They are gorgeous.

 

I figured this out by accident with my Powder Brown Tang. He starts eating it before I even get the clip on the glass, so now I just hand feed him nori.

 

Speaking of the tangs spikes. I got to close to my yellow tangs cave while I was cleaning one time and he tail slapped the back of my hand. I can tell you it doesn't feel good. Gave me a pretty good gash too.
