Hi
shrimps fighting hermit crabs dissipearing

I use to feed 2 times a day , and was told it is to much so i started cuting down to 1 feeding every 2 to 3 days , i notised my boxing shrimp in a bad state lastnight (one leg left no claws, no antenas) will they grow back when he sheds .also noticed my little crabs skelatin and 2 of my hermits are gone, wel one is small so mabe just hiding, bud the other was big.
 
You must feed twice a day only enough food for them to consume.
 
thats what i said to , bud i am new to the hobby so was not sure, i gave pellets in the morning and frozen food at night
 
There should not be food flying around after 5 minutes. Remember fish are optimistic feeders and will eat every time there is food. Although if they are full more food will go to waste and into your filtration system. Smaller more frequent feeding are better. Especially for anthias and chromis.

But for Lionfish, do not feed them 2 or 3 times a day. They are messy eaters and a lot of waste goes into your filtration.
