Problems with my red open brain coral

And all this time I thought they came from the ocean!! Guess you learn something new every day. But I still like the brine just because they seem less fatty and oily. Less of a pollutant.

To be fair, I believe some come from saline lagoons near San Francisco. Pretty darn close to ocean. Personally I think the difference between mysis and brine is fully balanced meal vs. popcorn. And no matter how much "enriching" is done to the brine, it's still popcorn. IMO

Personaly I find Mysis too oily and fatty.

Yeah, damn those omega fatty acids ....I have never had a problem with that really, but I rinse them in tank water and then soak them in Kent Zoe, or Selcon or whatever I have at the time.

I guess broken mysis leach oils...

I actually thaw mine by placing in a small plastic seive and rinsing under the tap. Maybe that's why I never noticed excess oil.
