Feeding mushies and yumas

[lorba]

I tried feeding mu yumas and hairy mushroom with small pieces of market prawn. I do it by putting the meat near their bubbly body and they will sort of stick it. After that, they wrap the meat up and become like a char sew bun.

Am i doing the correct thing and is there anything else to take note?

What else can i use to feed them?

Can I do the same thing to lobo?

i dun target feed my corals...i jus drip the marine snow mixed with freshwater...n all corals open happily....

[monpire]

Me too...marine snow is good stuff...coral is happy and growing.

I do feed my open brain and cynarina for fun...just very small piece of market prawn and once a week max...read somewhere in this forum that too much will kill the poor thing...very cute when they puff up like chai siao pao...

Do you off your skimmer when using Marine Snow or other brands of food source?

[jamomatt]

I dun target feed mushies but when they catch pellets/flakes they do wrap up like char siew bun so it's quite normal.

lyz: I off skimmer for 1 hour whenever I feed liquid food (marine snow/zooplankton). Follow the instructions on the bottle mah

Any idea which lfs in the East is selling Marine Snow? Roughly how much is it? Thanks.

Also just got a bottle and a dripper....but need to off canister?

[letdoit]

i also think of buying marine snow but end up buy Salifert coral food.

by the way, is marine snow and Salifert coral food is the same? i mean food for coral....

if yes, which is better if price is same

How can I make my mushies and yumas grow beside light and low water flow?

I try feeding mysis to them but my cleaner shrimps will carry off the mysis before the mushies wrap up?

As feeding marine snow or coral (liquid)food may cause excess nourishment may cause unwanted algae or cyano, what should I do?

[arcanehacker]

I dun think its wise to feed mysis to mushies and yumas.. you should be using plankton stuff..

I'm using reef-roid and Aquaz (can't remember the name.. some frozen stuff in a small green bottle)..

yumas and mushies are softies,

they dun hv skeleton. maybe u r refering

to LPS(prata etc)

[Volitan]

I only dose golden pearls once in a while. I thought there is no need to feed the softies? Afterall, they get food via photosynthesis right?

[Bio528]

marine snow cost ard how much? where to get? ( i mean any recommendation which shop is cheaper lol)

[raydiative]

marine snow is about 20 bucks...

[Bio528]

okie thx

[the oracle]

i feed plankton food. but they can live off by photosynthesis so no target feeding is required from me. I feed them alternate day
