Hello strangers 😂,
Sorry not been around but work has gone absolutely nuts lately , by the time I get home , have dinner , say hello to the mrs and kick the dog I’ve fallen asleep ,
( don’t panic I don’t have a dog and love animals ) 😂
Anyway back to the thread ,
Always wanted a dory to (regal tang ) go with me clowns and just love the colour of them but read a lot about them and shied away because they can be problematic.
So after many years of deliberation and research and Friday was me birthday I treated myself and took the plunge ,
And here he/she is ,
Dave
 

Hi Mike
I put some nori in and attached it to a clip ,
Don’t know if it’s too big a piece or he just wary at mo , or if it’s not in the right place , or right shape ,
Guess time will tell ,

That's fine, bit big for a tang that size, I used to put two sheets folded in half and my tangs (Regal, Yellow, Naso, Sailfin) would all dive in and shred it. Doesn't matter how big it is. Regals aren't as confident as Yellow Tangs when it comes to eating Nori but it'll just be wary of it right now.

The only thing to be cautious of is a big sheet in a small clip is likely to come loose, especially if it's tugged on, then end up in a powerhead or clogging an overflow, etc. I'd start with smaller sheets, a playing card folded in half, clipped at the folded end and see how you go. When it's getting eaten entirely, increase the size. Obviously not to the point of overfeeding, but Tangs are predominantly veggies so Nori should be the staple of its diet. Doesn't mean they can't be healthy on other stuff and obviously they'll eat meaty foods too.

Are you aware of how big the blue tangs get? 12 inches, so a pretty big fish. Obviously it'll take some years to get near that, but just so you're aware.
