Clownfish and Nori

[mr_o98]

Over the last few weeks, I have noticed my clownfish eating nori off of the clip. The nori is primarily for the tang, foxface, and angel. I have noticed my other fish eating the nori remnants floating around the tank, however, the clownfish has been going to the clip and tearing off big chunks of nori and eating them. My fish are fed nori daily and 2 cubes of frozen food later in the day. Is this normal clownfish behavior?

clowns are opportunists and omnivores. Its normal.

But mine wont touch nori or any other "seaweed strip" I put in there. I think my are blood thirsty, they constantly nip and antagonize my hermits, snails and even my emerald.

I have had this clownfish for over 2 years and it just recently started picking at the clip. It used to eat some of the nori remnants in the tank, but now it is tearing off its own chunk of nori. Could it have aquired a taste for seaweed?

Don't worry mine do the same thing and they did not start until I loaded up on all types of tangs, foxfaces, and angels.
