So I havent been driectly feeding my nems, the smaller one has fantastic color the green one has dulled. It seems happy and healthy. Clown just started hosting...

Can lack of me feeding it directly cause dulled color.

Also lfs is a bit of a drive, will frozen shrimp from the grocery store suffice? Untill i can aquire some krill? Or should i surynge some brine or mysis? I have those

I wouldn't think feeding or not would impact color. It has an impact on growth rate and can be helpful in giving sick nems a boost.

That is weird. I unfortunately am new to btas so I don't know what could cause one to act up when another is fine. Feeding a small amount of mysis wouldn't hurt it at all.
