mythrax crab, lol

you can be feeding any number of things. If these are new fish, see what the LFS was feeding and that's a good place to start, until you can ween them onto what you prefer to feed. Personally I have just switched all my fishies over to the "new life spectrum" Therma A+ pellets and feed them that mixed with minced garlic. I feed em that on a daily basis, twice in the evenings. And also put some frozen cubes in there as well, sometimes mysis shrimps, sometimes krill, I change it up from time to time with my frozen cubes. May even want to put some nori in there for that cherub when you get em. A variety of foods will ultimatley be more beneficial for your fish. I'd do a mix of pellets and/or flakes as well as some sort of frozen mysis, silversides, krill, squid, that sort of thing. You'llknow what they like :D

That's a lot of fish for that size tank.

I make my own fish food based on information in this thread:

The food is good for fish and for corals.
