Hello, I have been feeding my new blasto for a couple of weeks with brine shrimp. Today I was feeding the Anemone some 1” shrimp, 10 minutes later turned the pumps back on. I didn’t realize a stray shrimp was getting pushed around the tank, and my blasto ended up with it! I am like holy cow! The shrimp was nearly as large as the blasto head, 45 minutes later and he/she is swallowing the shrimp whole.

Haha, yes... I am just blown away. I had no idea they could even do something like that. Everyday in this new hobby I am amazed and in awe.

Mine is growing so slowly. He is happy and can be and has a baby but just slow growing for me.
