They eat plankton. All of your expensive filtering removes plankton. I would feed cyclops-eez (tiny frozen or live red bugs) but would turn off filters and protien skimmers prior to feeding. I would leave circulation pump(s) running so it stays in suspension where they like to eat it. And as long as you never turn the circulation pumps off you don't have to worry about oxygen loss. If you turned everything off and forgot to turn them back on you could crash (I've done it) and lose everything.

seahorsesource.com sells rots and I've bought them and they arrived alive and kicking. I also bought their decapsulated brine shrimp eggs. Which hatch in tank like clock-work 24hrs after they are introduced.
