I have one but the tangs just rip the algae right out of it in a few seconds.  I just hold the algae and let them eat out of my hand.

It would be nice if they made the springs a little stiffer in them....

I've seen these in use, they are quite a bit nicer. I guess it depends on how much your willing to pay?  :hmmmm:

I've gone through 3 from my petstore...  my tangs jerk the nori so hard they pull the clip right off the glass so i can't get the things to suction very well...  but a magnet one sounds like a great idea!

Too difficult, who likes to reach in to pick up the tile when they are done.      The mag float algae clip is the best.   Even if the tangs rip it off, it floats to the surface of the water.

Oils, and who knows what else form our skin gets transferred to the water. I know there are several people who use grab sticks, tongs, and/or gloves. There is also the threat of the palytoxins that most paly's, and zoa's release.

If you have an open cut on your hand, and want an infection, just stick it in your tank.

Some people worry about it, others not so much. Thats the thing about this hobby, what might work for one might not for another. Its your choice to decide whats right and what isn't
