120 gallon Reef tank with 150lbs of rock, corals, live sand etc. Has full hood to prevent suicide jumpers
So i have pods i add to the tank every 2 weeks, plus bloodworms everyday, mysis brine flake mixed with feedings every other day.
I recently added anthias to tank. I will be puttin an auto feeder in there to help manage feedings.
I have read shrimp pellets (sinking) and hikari dried products in auto feeder are good options for anthias.

Any extra info for the auto feeder would be helpful.

my anthias have not been an issue with my mandy. anthias tend to be open water feeders, whereas the mandys are generally concerned with benthic critters as snacks.

the wrasse/mandy, in a 120 gallon, i wouldn't be too concerned. if possible i'd set up a fuge, but it shouldn't be a huge issue.
