reefsrule Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 how often do you feed? I would reccomend feeding frozen mysis too. They need to eat at least every 2-3 days. One time a part of my black tubes died for no reason and the rest of them were fine. Make sure all the tubes get food individually, they are all seperate animals. Link to comment
