At the April meeting, John commented that most things on the reef don't eat fish, so he uses other seafood items in his food. Fine, that makes sense. I have always done the same, mostly by coincedence.

I've seen a few threads now where somebody talked about feeding BTAs silversides. I think maybe that makes sense. I have a 26 inch green brittle star, and some RBTAs. Would my RBTAs and my brittle star eat fish in nature? I've always fed chunks of shrimp and sea scallops (yeah, my critters frequently eat better than I do).

Or, more to the point, should I be feeding my RBTAs and brittle star silversides?
