Here is a series of pictures showing how effective this method is.
The first attack can be vicious! The silvery stuff around the Sohal Tang's mouth and drifting above him is air bubbles dislodged from the Nori on the strike. BAM!
Of course, the Desjardini has to get his Nori, too. He's not as aggressive as the Sohal. Notice the air dislodged again.
The Orange Spotted File fish likes Nori, too and doesn't let the size or aggressiveness of the Tangs get in his way.
Here is the Orange Spotted file fish in the way of the Sohal and it doesn't even phase either one.
Sohal comes back and nails it again and again.
When the initial onslaught is over, you can see there is plenty of Nori left and little went to waste. They will work on this until only what is left in the clip remains. After awhile, I'll go over to the clip, followed by the Sohal and Desjardini, and open the clip. These two hogs will tear into the remaining Nori until it's totally consumed.
Hope this works for you.
