  1. Anenone ate but spit it out...

    Yesterday I fed the anemone with a piece of shrimp. All seemed good, it gobbled it down slowly, was looking great after. Today it was looking good too, then 15 min ago I noticed it was all shtiveled up, deflated, and the shrimp piece was lying nearby...

  3. Preparing food with fresh seafood, Cyclop-eeze and nori

    Today it was 'cooking for my fishies' time :-)

    Last week I bought a fresh seafood pack at the market then froze it for a few days to kill pathogens. I unfroze it in the fridge from yesterday to today, and tonight ground it to a paste with some Cyclop-eeze, nori and some gelatin.
