I just found this... i was gonna mention cut open fresh live clams (quahogs, mahogony clams, etc) but somebody beat me to it.
I second Oldsalts suggestion of worms and anemones. I've also had decent luck taking a blender, adding some shrimp, squid, and clams, and blending into a thick "goop" - not too runny, keep it fairly chunky. I then press this stuff into pieces of coral, or shells, or even tuffa rock - something with enough texture to hold it a bit, not too smooth. I then freeze it for a little while (so it holds together when I put it in the tank) and drop in the tank. (sometimes I have to loop an elastic around it, or mesh from an onion bag, but if I get the consitancy right it doesn't start floating away till its getting nibbled on)...
How little are all these guys ? they look small in the pics... less than 3" ?
