thanks for the compliment. you may try thawing the brine in a small dish of tank water and then sucking it up with a large surrenge. then release it right in front of him. you should also mix in some mysis with the brine, and eventually switch over to mysis without the brine as it has alot more nutritional value. BTW - this advice comes from watching Jose (seamonkey2) feed his seahorses and trunkfish, and you should see how fat and healthy they are.
