Anthias Bartlett's new in tank

[spit.fire]

I just added 2 anthias to my frag tank on Friday

They just need time to settle in, mine took about 24hrs before the came out of hiding and once I offered mysid shrimp the came right out and ate

So ya, most likely need time

Any ideas on automatic feeder for mysis during the day? as I can feed morning, evening and before to go to bed but it is dark already.

I think you can get dried mysis which would work for an autofeeder.
.. maybe try to get them onto a finicky-fish formula pellet (NLS or New Era I think both have products) and use that in the autofeeder? As long as they're eating pellets at any rate.

russ , start them on pellets as they were eating nls 1mm pellets in the store

give them a few days to settle and they will get comfy.

as leah said feed a few times a day small amounts

cheers
