5 tsp of small pellets (Formula 1 or 2 or mix) 1 x 8x8" Nori sheet 2 x 3/4" clams or mussels 2 x 1" rings of squid 2 x 1" tentacles of squid or octopus. Sometimes 2 x 1" shrimp are substituted for the octopus. The Lookdown only eats squid/octopus or pellets. It does not eat clam/mussels or Nori. The N. vlamingi eats everything except fingers. The N. elegans eats only pellets and Nori. The wrasse eats everything except Nori. The rest of the Tangs eat everything, but I think they prefer the clam and the Nori. Here's tonight's dinner. There are only two pieces of Nori since they had the other half for lunch. Pellets are for lunch also.

I finally discovered that I could get a decent photo of the Achilles Tang when he slows for a moment to eat. He only spends enough time at the clip for about 3 pecks before doing another lap or two of the tank and returning for another 3 pecks. Just a really, really active fish. I'm sure this is the reason that they do so poorly in aquariums.
 This evening, all the turbo snails spawned at the same time. Right as the lights went out, I noticed that they were generally clustered around the right overflow. About 20 of them managed to cloud up the tank pretty well. I tried to get some photos, but they just came out looking like snails.

I'm pretty cautious about trying anything new. I figure that if it is working, just keep doing it.
