| Fry Size: |
2.5" |
| Food: |
Eventhough they 'watched' the parents eat from the abalone shell at each feeding, they stopped eating prepared foods when I introduced them back into their parents mini reef. They only eat the live pods and turn their noses up at frozen foods. |
| Feeding Schedule: |
Twice daily but they refuse thawed foods or live brine. It is as if they only recognize 'crawling' pods as food. |
| Fry Description: |
Cute as a button, yellow, very active, hunting constantly for pods |
