Yes. I keep them frozen & cut them in half with a good knife. Most of the meat usually stays on one side, but if not I just feed the halves.

This one is not to timid Anthony but your correct. They need good research at the lfs & their diet needs to be addressed. Mine is well over two years old now and swims in my fingers & eats from my hands.

As was posted on another thread though, they can be tough on clams& other stuff. I seen someone mention how they cleaned up all the pods & worms. I wonder, {besides the high current, bare bottom tank}, if my 4 yr. old mandarin started to lose weight because of that. We had to put him in Mike larger aquarium, to fatten him up again.

And thanks for the comments guys.
