As some of you know I just got a saddle back and tom recommended some frozen squid for it but it doesnt want it. everytime I feed some to it he just pushes it away whats everyone else feeding to their large anemone's. and how often

Yeah he has been getting some when I feed the fish. it just doesnt seem like its enough this thing is huge haha. is feeding an anemone mysis soaked in garlic as good for him as the fish?

im oersonally not a fan of squid and anemones.. i personally have noticed they dont like it as much.. just pick up some silversides.. petco has them pretty cheap, or MO has the IQF, and regular flat pack ones..

use raw shrimp from wegmans and peel them. Their cheap and they have tons of good nutrient that people dont know about!
