Reborn into a Blue Tang and take revenge by eating non-stop?

Nice pair swimming around... that white dot on the left is a piece of frozen mysis soaked in Vitachem So romantic

I really should be more prepared... here's bro Terryz's contribution (he posted in another forum) Try this to transit them from live food to frozen food... Extract from Seahorse.org forum Foods: 1 bottle of garlic extract or any commercial garlic juice Live adult brine shrimp Frozen adult brine shrimp, and frozen mysis Method: 1) For 2 weeks treat live brine shrimp with garlic soak when feeding 2) Begin adding frozen brine shrimp, treat with garlic together with the live brine shrimp and observe. (Initially there will be little interest in the non swimming foods, over 1 wk gradually shift the ration from primarily live brine shrimp to primarily frozen brine shrimp) 3) Begin adding a small amount of frozen mysis to the mix, this may be done starting midway through step 2. 4) In the morning, feed only frozen foods. In the afternoon, feeding frozen, after 15-30 min then offer small amount of live/frozen mix. Continue for 1 week. 5) Feed frozen only for next month, then live foods may be offered as a treat, or supplement. 6) The garlic treatment can be faded out once the horses are on frozen. The basic theory behind this is respondant conditioning. We are pairing a potent (neutral) stimulus (ie garlic/scent) with an established (conditioned) stimulus, ie food. Overtime the scent elicits the same responses as the food. The key to this process is consistency. Make a routine, use the same method of adding foods to the tank. I personally have found it very helpful to simultaneously train to a feeding station along with training to frozen. Method is the same as above, just restrict where food is presented to the area of the station. Think the effect of live brine shrimp squirming around in the frozen helped speed up the process of accidentally trying the frozen.

You will probably laugh at the fact that the mushrooms came with the LR I bought these rocks from a LPS decom'd tank... it started with 1 single polyp... I believe it's called Ferrari Red Mushroom
