To feed or not to feed....

[brettmc]

I have a few feather duster hitch hikers on my LR, along with some aiptasia, a horseshoe crab, and a couple of pepper mint shrimp. Should I be feeding these guys anything or will they get along with just detritus?

Feed the aiptasia some joes juice or kalk, feed the crab some freshwater for about an hour, the little fan worms will be fine in your healthy system and the peppermint shrimp should get scraps from when you feed your fish.......

Just keep an eye on your peppermints to make sure they are healthy...if you dont feed your other fish very much like myslef...i do intentionally throw them some mysis intentionally here and there.

huh, freshwater? to kill it? I don't have any fish in there right now, so I think that I should be givin them a lil something.

[Fly Guy]

You should be feeding your shrimp if there isnt anything else fo rthem to eat but get that crab out while you still know where he is.

But dont listen to me....im a crab HATER

horseshoe crabs can grow pretty rapidly and become troublesome. they tend to bulldoze everything.
