I used Rotifeast. It's not live, but my LPS liked it lots. I also used Arctipods which seemed to color up my fish (especially the Anthias). I've been using mysis recently (to be honest, just about all fish find mysis irresistible, so I indulge mine), but I may order some more Arctipods soon.

it is a little confusing as to what to feed each thing. for instance.. is one of the live products acceptable to sps..? which ones for LPS? then fish?

any advice is appreciated.

You don't have any local dealers?

Gresham took care it, but I'll just add that with most any reef organism it's best to feed as wide of a variety of foods as the animal will accept. This goes for corals as much as fish. If they are eating these items, they are worth the expense IMO.

Feeding is one thing I never skimp on.

Just trying to help, no need to take it to the dude level :lol: having only been thru your fine state three times in my life I wouldn't know a dime about it other then I went across it at a decent clip. I do know there are a few dealers in the state, which is why I asked an honest question
