They are quite a bit bigger than other mysis I have used but my sixline doesn't have any problem with them.
I would advise rinsing in a fine strainer before use. |

Plenty small enough. I feed my small Bartlett's the same and they go to town on it. I don't see any reason to strain the food. Many people do but there are many threads out there that say the amount of po4 is very small. I fees a cube a day plus other food and my phosphate stays around 0.03. I do aggressively skim though as well.

Perfectly fine. Six lines will eat just about anything.

Sounds good, I'll add it to their food rotation.

I wouldn't advise rinsing them. The amount of P04 is negligible, and you'll be rinsing away a lot of the good stuff for your corals.

the legs that fall off have no nutritional values for corals. the cloudy stuff/ oils makes the skimmer not foam for longer as well. |
