Hope this isn't a dumb question but frozen mysis right? I'm lucky enough to have amphipods growing in the last chamber of my sump... I'm also going to collect a bunch more tomorrow ( lucky enough to be by the water).... I am also going to by some copepods as well to get it really going.

I'm going back to read and see what you did to get him to eat mysis.... Good luck with your guy.

Yes, frozen mysis

I actually have one also in my 55G since April and so far he's doing pretty well Grazing all over the sand and live rocks. He even ocasionally eats the frozen mysis and frozen bryne. I'll let you know how he's doing once I reach past what seems to be the 6 or 7 month life span that people had been able to keep them for.

I got one a few days ago! Trying to train him to eat frozen mysis as well!

give me hope!

He's still doing good and its now 11 months and 6 days. Tell you the truth I don't see him eating my frozen mysis, I've tried all the frozen stuff from formula one / two / for angel formula but I can't really tell if he eats it or not. he may pick on the left overs that get to the bottom but usually i'm feeding this food to my sun coral. I think I really have a lot of pods growing on there own in the tank I always find them all over my glass.
