    Hello,

    I got a red general about 2 weeks ago. I am having alot of trouble finding information on how to feed it, or quite simply take care of it. I know I shouldnt have made this impulse buy but now I have to deal with the consequence. Anyways, for the past two weeks I have physically fed it one piece of krill every other day and today a piece of a silverside. Tonight when I was feeding it, I noticed that the center-most red part of him is starting to fade to a lighter color on the top and bottom sides. I also notice that one of the spines on one of its legs is missing and I dont ever remember seeing that blank spot before. Any advice on this would be great. Does anyone know how to keep these guys healthy?
