I retired the reef for now. Maybe a nano or a softies tank in the future when I have both time and money. 60 gallon FOWLR in the meantime. My echidna nebulosa are still going strong!

I would think that frozen and cooked=preservatives. I'd stick to fresh, uncooked seafood

As most marine life don't have oven mitts, there is a chance that they may not be able to digest cooked seafood correctly.

My guess is that by cooking it you may loose some of the valuable nutrients.

Save a fishes life! Do some reseach before you buy your next fish.

Here is a link to an article in my library. It should answer a lot of questions about how to feed your fish.

Kirbster (in another forum-site. He's a nice and helpful person.) taught me that fish roe are excellent for corals. I will try it as soon as I buy fresh fish roe (fish eggs!)
