Are nems supposed to smell?

[88471]

I've noticed my nems have a very slight odor. It's not a rotten or unpleasant smell, and is barely detectable. My nems look good and I feed them twice a week (with brine shrimp or mysis treats in between). Is this normal? Everything I'm finding refers to a rotten smell of dying nems.

Most saltwater livestocks have their own distinctive smell if handled physically .... I think the worst smelling coral are the Leather family

Thanks. I thought it may be due to overfeeding, but I won't worry if it's normal.

They all stink to some extent...pull some Xenia or cespitchularia outta the tank and be prepared to gag! Lol.

That’s what happens when I touch my nem and smell my hands even after washing with soap.

I think my acros are the most noticeable stench. Especially when fragging
