You can try sea weed sheets from a grocery store. You can find it in the oriental isle for about $2 for a 2 month supply.

Should fish be fed daily? My marine book varies (depending on the fish) from once per day up to three times per day; my LFS says once per day at the same time each day; I have read several places on the Message Board that indicates every other day.
I am feeding daily. Usually once per day (morning) but sometimes at night if the fish are aggitaged and begging for food.
Am I over feeding?
Thanks!

No you aren't. If the fish can eat it within a couple minutes...you are fine. It is when food sits in the tank and isn't eaten...it will cause a problem.

Attach a piece of the sheet to the algae clip and place the clip near by where the tang normally roam about. If that doesn't work, try placing it on the bottom with a piece of rock holding it down. Other things you can feed both the tang and the trigger, plus your other inhabitants would be Formula 2, Live Brine Shrimp, Formula for Triggers, Blood Worms, and Marine Cuisine, etc. I usually feed my fish twice a day and different stuff all the time. Now with the marron clown and trigger becoming friends, that depends on your fish's personality. Personally I wouldn't trust a Trigger with any small fish. I feed my trigger feeder fish(rosey reds) as a treat sometime and the last time I fed it to her, she rip the head off the fish within a second. Good Luck! :happyfish
