Feeding ?'s

reeferz2 · 07/11/2008, 06:17 AM

Ok so I am little new at this. I purchased a 125gl already setup tank.
I have a 7 inch coris wrasse ( which I also wonder if he is too big for this tank?)
1-3 inch yellow tang
1- 3 inch hippo tang
1-4 inch marroon clown
1-2 inch flame angel
2- 2 inch cleaner wrasse's
1- large brittle starfish that when legs are expanded he spans 12 inches!
1 spiney urchin (large)
1 pincushion
1 pencil
3 anemones that are approx 3-4 inches round
3 small corals (haven't id these yet)
the org owner was feeding formula 1 & 2 and just broke off a piece lets say a half dollar size. 1 in am one in pm.
I am feeding them 3 cubes form 1 - am / 3 cubes form 2 pm
plus some other liq stuff for the corals etc as bottle states
every other day a strip of nori
I tried the myosis shrimp no one ate it.
does this sound about right? the coris seems still hungry?

I have a coris and he always looks hungry. My maroon clowns do too lol. I feed only 1 time a day cause I am just getting over some algae and dont want a second bloom starting. I feed mysis shrimp and they love it. Dont feed brine unless its as a treat cause that is like giving cotton candy to a kid. makes them hyper and theres no substance. Found that out the hard way. I know they are getting enough to eat though.
