Feeding Question

My fish have ich so I'm moving them to QT so my question is regarding the inverts in my tank. How should I feed them?

I have a starfish, scarlet hermit, 2 turbo snails, 1 cleaner, 1 coral banded, and 1 fire shrimp.

Anything special I need to be doing?

There should be enough food for them to find in the tank for awhile, but you could always drop some flake food/cocktail shrimp in.

I sometimes supplement my hermits with flakes, which they love. I'd guess your other inverts would eat flake food as well. Not sure about the snails though.

Tiny pinch of flake every other day or so. I wouldn't want to leave an established tank without input/output for a long enough period to eradicate pests.

I would say use something meaty. Maybe a small piece of silverside or some mysis or something. It would give them something to munch on for a while not to mention that some critters would rather eat the meaty items.
