Found a mixture of shrimp (med & popcorn size), mussels, squid, & Krab (threw that out). About a pound of the stuff for $3. I cut some bits for the anemone and put the rest in the blender. Dropped a bit of the blend in the tank last night, the fish went nuts. It expanded quite a bit in the water and stayed together, but the fish kept nipping at it. Once it hit the SB the crabs & starfish were all over it. Just another thing to add to the mixture of foods I feed.

I love seafood, so Krab is one thing that gets thrown out. No fake stuff in this house!

I would feed that very sparingly. I did the same thing and the fished loved me but the algae that followed was CRAZY BAD. I still feed it a few times a month but no more. I about went nuts trying to remove the algae.

I do that too. I add garlic, formula 1, and little bit of parasite medicine to mine.

It was all raw, except the Krab, who knows about that.

TheMcs,

I found that just last night as well. I blended it all up and froze it with a little garlic. The critters in my tank went nuts over the squid tentacles.
