are there any additives to food for nems?

I was reading on a tread that people inject the food for their nems. I was just curious as to what it is? what it does for the nem? etc.

thanks!

garlic extract is okay for anemone? Doh! I have been adding garlic to the food for my fish and feeding my anem with a turkey baster (mysis, etc) without garlic. I was actually concerned about the food they were getting from the water with garlic added. Garlic is supposed to be good for a fishes immune system, is it the same for the anemone?

I doubt garlic will have much of a benefit for anemones. They don't react the same way fish do (different neurological pathways, complexity, etc). Stick to good quality fresh and frozen seafoods and you will be fine. Other additives are not necessary IME/IMHO, but wouldn't be harmful.

I soak my food in selcon, or selco.
