I get mine from T&T as well... All raw. One thing I do is soak and re-soak a few times in RO DI water as some producers use preservatives, the one I get say is doesn't, but just in case...

You can use reef roids or coral frenzie if you want to add oyster egg, but it has other stuff in it too...

Online usually is where I get them. Last time I got them was from J&L I believe. Cost me a mint in shipping though.

It's one of those additives that I find I can take or leave if you have a replacement for it, such as AcanPlus, or an equivalent, depending what you're using the eggs for. Generally though I find it a very expensive additive that doesn't go that far for your buck. However I used to have a butterfly that loved the stuff and would go stupid for it, and thus making it worth the cost.


^^^ The read the label comment above is also super valid.

I also use the frozen seafood method. Blend it all up and then add rinsed mysis, cyclopeeze, coral frenzie and some nori. I don't blend the mysis as I like it the size it is.

My tank is big enough that I freeze in ice cube trays. No need to rinse again if you've rinsed the seafood and mysis before blending.

You can also add vitamins or garlic if you want.

I find making my own really cuts down on the cost of feeding as the other ingredients extend the mysis.
