Feeding:

 

I use a eheim auto feeder to dispense the food mixture four times a day as the anthias requires small but frequent feedings 

 

Mixture includes :

Hikari seaweed extreme pellets 

NLS probiotix

Dr bassler garlic pellets (L size ) 

 

 

I also dose phytoplankton thrice a week for the corals
