Target feeding Carpet Anemones

[RRafael]

Is frozen shrimp from the store ok? If so what type/ brand?

I buy mine from Trader Joes. Its their mixed seafood bag. Brand doesn't matter so much, but you want to be sure and check the ingredient list. Most companies will use phosphate compounds as preservatives. You may also need to cut down to size depending upon the size of your anemone. Hope this helps.

I go to my local supermarket and just buy one scallop at a time, cut it up into mouth sized chunks (gigs mouth size that is), put it into a ziploc and soak some selcon in then. Put it in the freezer, and break off a piece, defrost, and Gigs love it.

Be careful not to feed your Gig too early... take your time and let them acclimate, generally a couple of weeks at least.

if you feed the gig a lot it will grow a lot...they arent called gigantea for nothing...

Frozen is fine if its raw. Best to buy flash frozen raw shrimp.
