Hi
My yellow tang and my bird mouth wrasse delight in eating any invertebrates they find. Crabs, shrimp, snails and even urchins! I feed them quite frequently during the day (I'm at home nearly 24/7) and they always appear hungry. If I put bigger meals in it doesn't help, nor does increasing frequency. It appears they get bored, or like the taste!
To give you some idea, I put 50 snails in and by the evening there was 10 empty shells on the sand. A boxer shrimp lasted 2 days, a fire shrimp was introduced and never seen again. 25 hermits in, by the evening 6 empty shells.
Is there anything I can do to stop the greedy buggers??
