    Just watch those shrimp around your LPS corals. I had some develop a taste for my candy canes and frogspawn. The frogspawn didnt make it but the candy canes did. If you keep them well fed then it shouldnt be a major problem but I am personally pretty leery of them since that experience.

    Thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye out ;)

    What should I feed them and how often?

    They will eat pretty much whatever you put in the tank. They will scramble to get scraps, but you could always leave some extra for them.

    Well I don't usually feed the tank, but now I have to :) Will they eat Mysis Shrimp? And how often should I feed them?

    Yes, and at least every other day. They eat flake food, and smaller pellets too.

    I may pick up some flake food. It would probably be easier. Thanks!

    yeah they're trash eaters, anything, congrats on the aiptasia, and yeah, I agree with Alex, those braces on on the tank for a reason, I wouldn't risk it.

    Haha I'll definitely make sure to take care of the new tank. There's barely any room for error :)

    It shouldn't be too bad with water changes. I actually have a 5 gallon bucket of saltwater right under the tank. It'll be quicker than going upstairs and getting water from my DT. I sound so lazy :lol:
