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 is 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.
