Thorny Oyster

[Bret61081]

I picked up one of these guys a few weeks ago from my LFS. it had been in his tanks now for about 2 months and seems to be doing great. so far in my tanks it has been too...but I was wondering what are the best things I can add to it to keep it happy! according to Live Aquaria they say to feed it marine snow. is this the best thing for it or something else. any opinions? thanks!

Be careful...there's no way to know if it's been doing well for 2 months or slowly starving. They have a poor rate of long term syrvival (more than 6 months) in aquaria because they require massive amounts of food. Give it heavy feedings of Phyto, etc. several times a week.

There is no good "marine snow" product on the market now. The Two Little Fishies product was shown to have almost no nutritional value at all.
