Eating or being a bull dozer.   No to eating, yes they can be spooked and run into stuff and break them.

Not necessarily eating but picking pieces off and spitting them out. It seems to like Duncans and gsp. Has picked at zoas as well

They are all day grazers, if there is nothing for them to pick at, it is possible.   Feed him more then.   Get some algae on a clip.

Any tips on how to feed the sheets. I put it on a clip but majority of it is not being consumed. If they pull any of it off the clip they won't eat the big pieces floating around.

I really like that idea. I will try that. What other foods do you feed your tank, I have been doing some pellet and mysis. Just tried some emerald entre and nothing went for it.

Roll the nori really tight by folding it over and over. Then put it on clip.
