Ricordia food

i am not having luck feeding my ricks. They are doing good and look healthy, but won't latch onto anything I give them.
Any feeding tips?
How to ... or type?
Thanks

well what are you trying to feed them? I usually find that they won't eat like big things like mysis shrimp unless they are pretty big. if you dose your tank with phytoplankton, that is good enough.

I do dose with zoo and phyto plankton 1-2 /week. I just thought I remember hearing people feeding chunks of food. My FL Ric's are about 3-4 inches across.

Thanks

Phyto is too small for rics. Try mysis, Rods Food, or anything like that.
