Uneaten food becomes ammonia quickly and ammonia is the best fertilizer for all algae. When I feed frozen I always do it in bits with a tweezer. Almost every piece goes into the mouth of a fish, invert, or coral. None of the "juice" goes into the tank because that's just free nutrients. I've noticed if I dump a chunk of frozen right in the next day my glass is brown, every time, despite having a highly developed community of microfauna including amphipods and bristleworms.</p><p></p><p>It's surprising however that something is bleaching from this... Maybe there is some preservative as said above that was in the frozen shrimp you bought that is not so reef safe.</p></blockquote><p></p>
