  1. How to feed and anenome

    DAN/SPC.. I'm beginning to wonder why my LFS would recommend me using that filter feeder food.. should I not even bother using it? I feed brine to my fish and of course the anemone gets an occasional floater .. seems to like it.. I'll try a piece of shrimp.. thanks for the suggestions! rc
  2. Getting coraline algea to grow..
