In a tank for 3 - 4 months eating well and all. I went to a shoprite in jersey and explicitly asked the counter man if they used any preservatives in their shrimp or are they fresh. LOL He said no preservatives sir. Took the shrimp home, cut a peice, fed it to the anemone and one day later i noticed the nem looked bad. Two days later it was completely fried. The shrimp they gave me was previously frozen twice and give preservatives. Thats why i stick to fresh seafood and food mad especially for reef tanks.
