Ok so I did some research on the Green Spotted Puffer's food of choice which is apparently Conch

SO I food processed 1 conch, 1/4 cup of purple octopus, 2 large Clams, 1 cup shrimp, 1 large sea scallop, 4 sheets of Nori, and 4 individual broccoli crown....
I've never seen my tank so active...everyone came flying for the food including the inverts. Both urchins started moving quckly for them, the sperpent star came out of hiding tentacles-a-blazing, the clowns swam in circles through it and the Puffer did a backflip like thing and nose dived for a large piece ofconch that escape chopping....
I didn't know feeding time could be so fun to watch......

Cool, I have been looking at doing that. How did you freeze? in large chunks or smaller pieces. read somewhere that you can press it in egg-crate. Just not sure of storing it that way. Looking at a large freezer bag and leaving it in e/c.

I purchased the meats at Pricerite which is one of those cheapo, doesn't always have the same foods, kinda store. They built a big one that has a fresh seafood market. They have a lot to chose from so I think I'm going to make another batch with different ingredients this week so I can alternate.
I just filled a freezer bag and laid it flat in the freezer and break off a piece at a time to melt. But I was looking for mini ice cube molds, but I think egg crate could work.....
