He'll eat just about anything you put in the tank. I never directly fed mine, because he'd steal food from everyone else, especially my anemone and LPS corals. That's why I ended up getting rid of him. But the short story is, they're very efficient scavengers, so I wouldn't worry about feeding him anything in particular.

same as "scrmbld33" however you should do research on everything "before" you purchase if you want to ever have sucess in this hobby.

i target feed mine about 10 seconds before i feed my red carpet nem..
just reach down and hand him the head of the silverside that i dont feed to my nem.. he picks at it while the nem eats.. drops the head and the hermits get it.
