Hi!

I have a pair of Potters angels in my reef, and they spend all day picking on the rock and glass. There are "wild" sponges growing in my tank - but I'm not convinced that's really enough for them. So far so good - but since I make my own frozen food.. what would be a good source of sponge to include in my home made food mix?

Any ideas on this? I'm sort of at a loss. Would it be best to just include some pygmy angel cubes in the mix and hope they're not diluted.. would rather be sure if I can!

20 years ago I lived in NYC within walking distance of China town. There everything edible from the sea is available at very cheap prices: sea cucumber, live mollusks of every kind, crabs, shrimp with the head on and every kind of fish you could imagine along with their eggs. I never found sponge. So good luck, and I hope you find a source!
