Tonight I bought some live rock from a fellow reefkeeper that was breaking down his tank. He had two very sorry-looking candy canes with reasonable flesh but quickly receeding, and an awesome neon green/purple/blue? open brain who was also receeding big time. I took them home and am planning on bringing them back to their full glory. I plan to elicit a feeding response via frozen cyclopeeze until they get the hang of being fed, but then what should I feed them? The choices are as follows:
-brine
-squid
-mysis
-silversides
-frozen cyclopeeze

The only thing that is whole (and big) are the silversides, I would have to chop those up into rather small pieces. The squid is pretty much shredded. Which would give these LPS the best chance of recovery?

mysis all the way,

the cyclopeeze will get the tentacles out, but the mysis is the best food imo

Oh, I forgot to add that I also have krill to feed them (if my golden dwarf moray approves that is! :D )
