I feed my new trumpet frag last night some myasis shrimp...HOLY COW those things are pigs! I had no idea they would eat so much. What else should I be feeding them and how often?

Mine eagerly accepts bits of krill :) just gotta make sure you cut em up into lil chunks so they can swallow. I feed mine about once a week, but they look like they could eat everynight ;) Ive also fed them the Formula 1 cubes (again just a small bit, no bigger than a pencil eraser). Some people dont spot feed at all, I do, to encourage faster growth.

I also feed mine chopped up pieces of krill. I only feed once every two or three weeks though.

Any chopped up meaty marine food would do the trick. Just be sure they are small bites. Chunks that are too large take too much of the corals energy to digest. If that happens they will spit up the meal, or worse some will stay left over undigested in it's gut to rot.
