I've had a similar experience. The smaller ones like Hikari better, and the bigger ones love PE mysis.
Has anybody use H2O life frozen food?

I love their products. I feed my 220 FOWLR with the #1 ,#2, & brine/mysis.
I really like the #1 for my fish due to there being larger particles that my MI
& 7 angels love. I have 2 cubes thawing as I type with 1 cube of Hikari Spirulina
Brine mixed in. The founder was the original maker of the formula lines of food.
My fish are all very happy, colorful & fat.

So how would this work?H2O chunky squid,H2O life mussel on half shell or H2O life scullops on half shell,H2O life fish & reef#2,H2O life marine fusion,P.E mysis, and roggers reef food.I would alternate between the h2o and roggers reef food.
Yup, my fish much prefer the Hikari for the smaller size as well. No idea why. The H2O mysis seems to be a bit too hard, or "prickly" for my fish.

Peter have you find any advantage in feeding mysis? No nutrition at all IME
Hmmm, how can you tell? Between all the other food I feed, I'd be hard pressed to say one is better for my fish than another. I can only observe what they like. They LOVE minced scallop and shrimp (from the grocery store) and PE mysis. They are OK with Hikari mysis... some fish (that eat anything, really) will eat the H2O brand mysis. They all love NLS pellets too.

My fish eat Rogger's Reef Food exclusively, except for when I'm out of town and have to use the auto feeder. The green is my fav, the fish seem to love it too. Rogger's mesh feeding system makes feeding a breeze, just break off a chunk and throw it in the mesh food holder and drop in. Happy fish! I used to do all kinds of blends and mixes, with aminos and vitamins and garlic and what not. Now I just throw in Rogger's food, he's done all the work for me. Tangs, CB butterfly, anthias, cardinals, wrasses, and gobies all love it. My corals eat it too. I hear he is working on a dry food variety, Rogger's Sushi Balls.
Are you thinking of brine shrimp?
While I agree variety is great, don't folks keep CBB and seahorses on mysis for years?

My main concern is feeding my trigger and large enough peices that would get my orange shoulder tang full.Because now it like the pieces are to small for him to get full.
Like the baby fish? :lol: It always kinda creeps me out when I see my fish eat those. Gross...

Like most I have tried all different brands of dry and frozen from the first formula 1 when it came out to recent ORA paste, I have not found any food that caused a feeding frenzy like Rogger’s Fish Food must admit I am a little bias because I have seen Rogger’s tanks and know exactly what he puts in his food. If you have not tried it give a chance and you will see what I mean.

Which one would be better for triggers chunky squid,mussels on half shell, or scallops on half shell?

I do use the mesh/clip due to the consistency of the food. I feed once every other day. Sometimes every 3 days.
Its nopt a cube but a piece of the frozen, HTH

Mysis are definitely sound nutritionally. I brought a pair of WC tomato clowns to peak condition using Piscene Energetics mysis (almost exclusively) along with numerous other fishes (including a starved Synchiropus picturatus). And like Peter, I also know of plenty of aquariums that use PE as a foundation for seahorse diets. Some cheaper brands have poor nutritional content, but that doesn't mean that all mysis has no long term value.
