i used to get mine at my jap sushi bar, shreaded an everything, how lazy's that!
if its good enough to put in your own mouth, its good enough for your fish!
roasted>>>>mmm, "donuts, is there anything they cant do"!
I believe it was I who inidiated what I like to call, "The Romaine Incident". Good Luck Kevin. LOL!
Yes, that was an ugly episode with many casualties. The Romaine industry still has Amp listed as public enemy!
Run Kevin, even Yoda cannot save you from the wrath of Amp.

i wouldn't be stressing to much if they dont eat it! your coral beauty is the only one that would graze. in a frozen mix would be enough in my opinion!
Oh no! Just wait until Amphibious hears about this atrocity.
Arrggh!!! Amp's going on a rampage!!!
The Romaine lettuce thing is widely believed to be sufficient for marine animals. I remain steadfast against it. Can't believe the GA aquarium doesn't have an educated Marine Biologist on staff. It's a pity. It just goes to show you how ingrained the Romaine lettuce fallacy is.

Yes, this is fine. I use a different brand but it is also roasted.
You really don't have a fish that requires marine veggies. Your Coral Beauty will find enough veggies grazing off the LR. Doesn't mean you can't feed it to him but it isn't necessary. Your Damsels may pick at it too, but, again, not necessary.
Pushing Nori, or any veggie into LR is a pain. I use a veggie clip, available at the LFS. They have a suction cup on them that soon wears out so I super glue mine to a rock and tie a string to it. Here's a pic of my veggie clip in action.
I cut the Nori into strips along the perforations already in the sheet and then cut the strip in half. Then fold the smaller strip into fourths and cut thin strips so the fish only tear off small bite sized pieces.
After a bit, the whole exposed part is consumed and then I open the clip and let the Sohal Tang finish the last of it.

I confronted an aquarium specialist one about the use of veggies for their fish. It was explained to me that they got all the nutrition and balance they needed from their prepared foods. They used (in this case spinach) the veggies on clips to "keep the fish busy"
They said that grazing fish, although well fed, just need to "graze". They swear that by putting the spinach in the tank, it kept their "minds busy".
Dunno... as long as they were feeding them a balanced diet...I wasn't going to fight with them.

Personally? I wouldn't want that aquarium specialist taking care of my aquarium.
Grazing fish graze to eat not to keep their "minds busy". Does this guy also claim to be a "Fish Whisperer"? Sounds totally bunk to me.

Thats like say I breathe to so my nose has a function. I think it is quite the opposite.
Although I would really really like to find someone with a macro that my tangs would eat. I still think it would be nice if I was feeding them live plants. No one I know has any Gracilaria, and the only stuff I have found is on ebay and I am just hesitant to buy from someone I don't know.
