    hey wilko, i feed, my p. cilliata frozen squid every other day, and about 3 times a week i feed her either ghost shrimp, or cheap saltwater fish like damsels and chromis, cause they really dont get much nutrition from ghost shrimp, and trigger i keep soft corals and polps, but never a exspensive sps as smashers like to break pieces off
