Thorny Oyster, experience anyone

[ddrobbins1]

I am thinking about adding a Thorny Oyster. I have a few clams now and all is well. My concern is whether it will have enough to eat in a reef tank?

No...those things are similar to flame scallops if I remember correctly. Non-photosynthetic, and require WAY more food than we can provide.

I have one in my tank. I dose my tank with all the Liquid Life USA products and it seems to be doing fine. I have had it for about 7 months now.

Depends on your tank. Before I added my Euroreef i had a couple alond with a grocerystore oysture. The Euroreef ended up starving the oystures.
If your tank is a little "dirty" you should be fine, bu if you run a very clean SPS tank they will starve.
