I have read that I might need to cultivate phytoplankton for feeding tube worms....

Do tubeworms eat stuff like frozes mysis shrimps ?

May I know what do you feed your tubeworms or corals ?

And is Phytoplankton substitutes for feeding tubeworms available in "frozen" or dried or bottled available in SG ?

I haven't tried it, but I think mysis is too big. I feed the tank a blended up mix of squid, clams and shrimp that I freeze into cubes. The tank gets lots of small pieces for the corals that my coco worm is probably catching also. And when I scrape the tank glass a lot of small bits of algae gets circulated. So far (1 year), the coco worm has done well. I do not target feed it. I'm pretty sure there is frozen out there, but the only thing I see in Singapore is mysis, brine shrimp and blood worms. I can't find all of the other varieties like spirulina from ocean nutrition.

I bought some "sugar cane " water from Ah Beng as alternative ....started a culture at home in my sump/refugium (with 24/7 : 2x 2 feet T5 daylight...2 coke bottle version culture....stood them in my sump! making sure no copepods, got in there.!harvested a cup a day -refill with "miracle grow" laced DI water....am feeding my tigger pods with that - plan to get rotifers or brine shrimp eggs -called most places with no success so far ( last time I did it -mail ordered from Florida Farm....costly but- quality and availability assured! if you dont have the time....phytofeast is convenient
