Is raw shrimp good to feed my anemone and what should I be feeding corals?

Not sure about Raw Shrimp. I've feed Brime Shrimp before and had no problem. But now i just feed Cyclopeeze and Phytoplankton......Works best to me......

as long as the shrimp is very fresh it will work. if its store bought then chances are its loaded with phosphates, as phosphate is used as a preservative.

coral wise, i also think Cyclop-eezeĀ® is about the best frozen food you can feed. :D

you should be able to get frozen brine shrimp at any LFS, or even Petsmart.

i have not tried the coralife invert gourmet, so i cant give you a good opinion on it :).

Look for mysis shrimp rather than brine shrimp, they are considerably larger, so easier to feed, and more than likely more readily accepted by the anenome.
