    I have read in multiple posts where various members have been very successful feeding their corals frozen squid.

    Where the heck did you find it???

    I have gone to half a dozen stores in the area and no one carries it.

    Thanks

    alot of people go to the grocery store, pick up fresh squid, scallops, oysters, and sometimes a white fish then through it all in the blender until its a nice puree' then freeze it. You can also through in some garlic and vita chem and stuff. I'm going to do this and not tell my wife because she uses the blender for smoothies and protein shakes.
    This food is fresher than what you buy, and free of the phosphate binders and preservatives. Food for thought it guess (pun intended)

    Go to an asian market. They will probably have some still alive. It will definitely be fresh.
