does anyone know of one that works? I bought couple from petco and one from a lfs and neither will hold the sheets tight enough. I have 4 tangs and they pull the sheets right out so most goes to the crabs. they even pull suction cups off glass in less 60 seconds. I tried attaching to rocks with rubber bands and they pull the sheets right out. maybe they have set up a gym behind the rocks and they been working out. been using veggie flakes instead but think they would like to peck at the sheets throughout the day. kinda their nature. anyone know where I can find a stronger clamp thats safe for tank? Others mustta had same problem. these guys are gonna grow probably ten times bigger they are now.

Two little fishes makes a magnetic clip that you can slide anywheres around your tank, makes it easier to take in and out without getting your hand wet. I love mine. The problem however of them tearing it off can only be solved by doing small feedings or using the flakes.

not so much the tearing of little chunks, they slide the whole piece outta the clip or rubber band. need something clamps tighter

I always just elastic band it to a flat rock that I hang inside the tank. I rap it like three times and I've never had a tang or angel pick off a whole sheet. Pretty much all the veggie clips suck In my opinion. Even the two little fishes ones are a pain to deal with I think.

They have some at easy aquariums that work awesome. I believe they're ocean nutrition. And they're only like a dollar at easy. Nothing comes out of these. Another thing you should do is slice the nori into little strips so when they bite it off it only takes the one strip and not the entire thing. Sorry it looks messy i have it in my sump for the yellow belly Attachments:

I am a fan of the one Penny at AquaCorals sells...easily made yourself with some coated magnets, small piece of acrylic, fishing line, and rubber bands.
