So... I fed the tank some of the Vitalis Soft Pellets and the fish loved them. So they look promising for now.

I also fed my ritteri anemone the Vitalis anemone pellet and it immediately swallows it up. So far I am very impressed with them. The smell of the food is nice and strong so it appears the ingredients are promising.

There we go, all cleaned up.

I just fed my fish some pellets. Interestingly, in aquaculture, if Clownfish are fed only pellets (can't say what brand) their nests get real bad and their eggs shrink.

I voted pellets only because that's what the big tank with all the big fish mostly get. I feed lots of frozen and some flakes as well to my tanks.

You'll get the same effect from feeding Mysis - it is less complete of a diet than pellets. Feeding a complete frozen diet like a good quality homemade mash, Larry's Reef Frenzy, or any of the Ocean Nutirtion "Formula" foods would be better.
