Default Feed Shrimp?

My tang seems much happier on less food with my hanging seaweed shell.
He needs to work harder and a feeding lasts for 6-8 hours. He may
actually get more food because it doesn't end up in the skimmer.


What seaweed shell are you talking about ? Interesting...


It's just a beach sand polished oyster shell I found on the beach. It's
oblong and about 6" long. I drilled a hole to suspend it via fishing
line, and use a rubber bad to attach seaweed. I hang it in the current,
so the tang can't just wolf it down like before. Tang was very
suspiciousness for a few days, but seems to enjoy the challenge now.

I originally did it hoping to attract the coral beauty by leaving it on
the bottom close to his cave, but one of the starfish would flop itself
over the top.
