most of us know nauplii which is freshly hatched brine shrimps are very rich in nutrients and very good for our lifestocks.

if i'm not mistaken...corals take them too.

so my question is...if i feed nauplii....do i still need to dose coral food?

Excuse me, but Nauplii what? :rolleyes:

Pls be more descriptive in your topic title in future....

People's time wil be wasted clicking on threads trying to guess what you're trying to say and also the mod's time having to rename your thread with a proper description for you.

I'll rename your thread from "Nauplii" to "Will nauplii suffice as the only coral food?"

Thank you for your future compliance.

BBS can be too big for certain corals so stuff like Golden Pearls are a better choice.

BBS are more suited to feed fish fry in conjunction with cyclops

Diversity is the key. Although BBS is nutritious in certain aspect, it is definitely not a complete food.

Also, not all coral are able to capture BBS. ;)

Depending on what type of corals are you feeding:

softies? LPS? SPS?

For me I feed GPs for SPS; bits of shrimp for LPS (hammer)

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
