Tangs always are eating so I would just replace it when the sheet is gone. Yeah they rip it off sometimes, but I guarantee you that someone is eating it.
So, just replace it. Tangs always eat to avoid starving.

there doesn't have to be. I wouldn't be a slave to it. But if you notice that there hasn't been a piece there for a few hours, then yes, I'd put one there.
If the tang just finished the nori I wouldn't feel compelled to run over to the tang and give him another piece

nori is pretty cheap though, so if you wanted to you could constantly replace it. I get about 400 sheets for $30

I put the Nori sheet in about twice a week for two Hippo Tangs and one Rainford Goby that loves it. But I also have Red "Tang Heaven" algae(Gracilaria parvispora) on a clip for them. They love that stuff. I am trying to get it to grow in my Refuge, but with no luck yet. I am lucky that one of my local fish stores carry it for a low price. With all that food I got two really fat looking Tangs.....

As soon as I try to put a clip of nori in the tank my trigger is there waiting and rips it right out of my hand. I never even get a chance to stick it to the side of the tank. He sucks down the whole thing and no one else gets any so I put more in after feeding.

I use Yaki Sushi Nori, comes in sheets, and Ito Wakame dried seaweed..looks like spaghetti. My tank gets one strip 1"x3" strip in the evening, and a few strips of the Wakame in the morning. The wakame is very dry, so it takes a while for it to hydrate, but boy do they love it. They have to work at this a bit to eat it, but they certainly are eager to get at it. I buy these at the local Asian grocery store for next to nothing compared to what they want for it at a pet store.
