feeding tangs krill every once in a while?

[noobtothereef]

I currently feed
pe mysis shrimp
formula 1 complete
formula 2 complete
nori

I had a flatpack of frozen krill given to me and threw in a couple of thawed krill and my tangs and sixline wrasse went apes--t over it, does anybody else feed krill? I was initially going to use the krill for my long tentacle anemone.

yes
Also for a treat go to your local grocer in the frozen seafood section and find mussels on the half shell. Mine go INSANE over those. My engineer goby likes it too

This is a very bad BROAD statement. Which sea star did you have? Not all brittle stars are reef safe, but not all are fish eaters. Please be more specific rather than paint them all with a broad brush.

Was it green by chance?

Most anything will eat krill even anemones. Just remember it does add phosphate.

Any food adds phosphate doesnt it? Does krill have increased levels of phosphate? I do run gfo and bio pellets so it will consume it as fast as it enters the tank

Noob, I feed my clan live gulf shrimp occ. My tangs will tear 'em up. They love frozen meaty foods as well.
