Yes, brine shrimp has almost zero nutrient value. CBBs love to eat clams/mussels on the half shell. They will peck at them like crazy. So if you want something easy a fish "smoothie" works pretty good. Take frozen fish cubes of mysis, chopped clams, reef cuisine, seaweed, cyclops, etc. The greater the variety the better. Take one cube of each and put into a tupperware. Place in the fridge to "slump." Mix and then pour off the excess liquid. Add a couple of drops of some vitamins like Selcon, Zoecon, etc. The mix will stay good in the fridge for a few days.

You'd have to check with your LFS.

Check out this link of Jsker 's method and the video of the fish feeding. It's amazing. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/preparing-frozen-foods-for-my-fish-and-corals.300448/#post-3677350

Live black worms if you can find them. Frozen blood worms are good too. Then mysis.

You can also find frozen seafood mixes at the grocery store. I found one that has octopus and clams. Along with other things. All raw and frozen. My cbb loves the chunks of clams. Just pulse it in a blender so it all gets chopped to small sizes. Then refreeze.

I've had my guy for over 3 years.

Have you noticed any of these other symptoms such as flashing, scratching, twitching and heavy breathing?
