live food only lasts a little while-phytoplankton has to be shaken daily or it will smother itself-roterfers also have to be fed or they will starve.by the time the cultures reach you they are not live anymore.target feed your carnation every couple of hours(if you have time)with store bought phyto(it's probably as live as the stuff you'll get from a website-and cheaper)mix in some coral frenzy and maybe some oyster eggs-your other corals will love it as well
