I find the easiest way to feed nori is on a clip, but mine came with a lousy suction cup. I hated having to stick my hands in the water every day to retrieve the clip off the bottom or add more seaweed to the clip, so I decided to cement it to a magfloat with epoxy. Now I can remove it without touching the water, move the clip around, and it stands up to three enthusiastic angels with no problem.
Here's a picture:

Nori Sandwich
Nori Sandwich
I had been introducing Nori using a feeder clip with suction cup, however, I noticed that my fish rarely swam up to it. So I decided that perhaps it would be better to get it onto the live rock.
I got a old shell with a hole in it and tied a piece of fishing line to it. Then I cut a small hole into a sheet of nori and slide that onto the line. Finally, I slide a final shell onto the line...creating a "sandwich" if you will.
Then I simply drop it into the tank and place it onto an area of live rock. My boxfish love's it. He actually will chase the shells/nori around until I finally leave it at rest. I like this method as it keeps my hands dry and I do not disturb the tank too much.
Additionally, I have found that fraying (ie. cutting strips along the edge) of the nori sheet faciliates feeding for my boxfish and angelfish.
