Novelty item.... not worth even buying. i'm surprised PETA hasn't stopped the sale of them bc its a 100% death rate bc they don't have constant nutrients passing by them like in nature
Sorry, I had to look up the ingredients. It has a lot of green phytoplankton in it, but also contains T. weissflogii. In what amount I have no idea, but it does have some Diatoms in it. Another thing that L. scabra feeds on frequently is copepod nauplii, but I haven't found a way or product that allows one to feed them in quantity.
Only if you aren't properly caring for it. Which is true for anything hobbyists and Aquarists keep.

I have a LOT of copepods, so I think I don't have to worry about that since they only partially feed on that, so it's easier to sustain the amount of larvae they need.
100% death rate? That's a bit absurd.
I totally agree. With the large amounts of phytoplankton being fed you'll have even more. I was just adding that comment because I forgot to mention it in my earlier replies.
And you're correct that comment was completely false. There's only a high death rate because people are either misinformed or refuse to provide proper care.
They also called it an "Item". it's an animal....

Agreed. It shouldn't be three dollars to be honest. I mean that would be an okay price to me if they made it so instead of say $30 PLUS buying absurd amounts of food they made it $3 and made you buy the food for it or something but I guess not.
And I'm dosing 3-4 internal caps 3 times a day of reef blend and 2 dosings of marine snow now, taking out my filter.
