Only problem I've had is my Blue Throat insists that it's Trigger food, not coral food!

LOL get yourself some grazing diet that will keep the tangs amused or target feed at night with lights off.

Glad you have seen the difference as well, this is important, LPS will suck in anything, but the food quality is down to whether they keep it in. When was the last time a coral ate anything hard

I accidently forgot to put my lid back on the tub and a bunch of the pellets have dried. Is there a way to make then soft again. I was thinking of trying put a piece of damp paper towel in the tub.

Thoughts?

you can try I guess. sorry not really go a definitive answer to that one.

Always worth a shot asking. My lps still eats it hard so no big problems.

I wouldn't put the damp paper towel in, too much moisture would have its own set of problems. Try either tossing the dry pellets or dumping the entire container into a bowel and remix the whole tub. The moist pellets should re-moisten the dry ones without loosing too much themselves.

Can't find LPS food listed on the new era web site? Any reason why.

It has not been added yet, they are designing a whole range of coral foods and will be added with it then, but we have about 500 cases here right now and available across the network.
