They love cyclopeeze. Another great choice is Fauna Marine's sea fan food. Cyclops are fine but I would soak both of them in phyto for an hour before you feed.

    Now the bad news, those wax over because your phosphates are too high. It is a stress reaction to protect itself from algae. Basically it she'd it's skin to get rid of algae that is growing in it. Best of luck, love those

    I've moved it to a higher flow area of the tank and rubbed the algae off as well as changing my phosban reactor. How long could it take to reopen?

    Thanks Miz. Most people just think I'm crazy. Who knows, sometimes it will open the next day, sometimes a week later. Good luck!!
