From what I understand, they rely highly on photosynthesis.

They probably feed the same way as featherdusters. I dose LiquidLife Bioplankton, LiquidLife Marine Plankton, LiquidLife Coralplankton, Tahaitian Blend, and Oyster Eggs into my tank. The worm should be able to filter it without me having to do anything special in terms of target feeding.

Hi John.

DT's Oyster eggs are 3,000,000/ml at 40-50 microns.

Liquidlife Coralplankton is a mixture of 3,000/ml 20-200 micron rotifers packed in 6-10 micron Pavlova phytoplankton.

Liquidlife Bioplankton is at 2-16 microns.

So if you think that you need food at 40-50 microns, then Oyster Eggs is the way to go.


By the way, what is Vancouver's connection to DT's Oyster Eggs? Was it really a biologist in Vancouver that discovered the methodology to extract the eggs?

http://www.dtplankton.com/oystereggs/main.html

"The utilization and availability of oyster eggs as a coral food was first discussed in 2003 with a biologist in Vancouver, BC who had developed methodology to extract the eggs in quantity"
