That’s what I thought. I have the 60 mm nikor and though it’s nice for top down with the avast housing it’s a real pain for front shots and I end up with the telephoto.

I mostly got it for coral photos I feel like for the fast fish the telephoto will still probably be best. Just struggling to get the detail I wanted on my coral photos

right, erm, is a half - block of Hikari mysis or brine enough for my cleaner wrasse for a whole day? I'm currently feeding this much and my other fish are getting really, really full. Like, you can see the brine through the foxface's belly like a ring through latex glove, and the marginatus is sorta ballooning, despite her almost only showing up near the end of feeding. The nitrates are under control through chaeto.
Sorry bout the blue... they hate white.

How many and what type of fish? 1/2 block for all for entire day?right, erm, is a half - block of Hikari mysis or brine enough for my cleaner wrasse for a whole day?

Marginatus wrasse, unimaculatus foxface and an engineer goby(he eats leftovers). Half block for the whole day, over the whole day. I don’t have duplicate fish.

I’d say they are about the same in terms of shyness. And I don’t think you’ll have issues with feeding as long as there is ample food and they don’t have to compete against bigger, faster moving fish during feeding time. And making sure you have food that is small enough for them to eat. I use the small TDO pellets, and my tiny female pink streak can gobble those down.
Also, in my experience, getting them eating as fast as possible seems to make them less shy over the long term. I am a huge fan of the reef nutrition ROE. Every fish and coral can eat the eggs, and so far the ROE has gotten every pink streak, possum, or shy fish out hunting and eating immediately.

I feed my fish 2-3 cubes per day and I have about 20 fish

Cool. Is fish belly bulging going to cause damage at all? Or will they just throw up extras?
If I do the math that's indicating I could get away with maybe roughly a quarter to a sixth - cube? I guess it's time to test my ice - cutting skills...

They are the smartest fish in the world. Don’t worry about overfeeding.

It’s probably a fine amount if there isn’t a bunch going to waste. If you’re feeding it all at once, you might consider multiple feedings (2+) throughout the day with smaller portions. Also, a good quality pellet food should make sure the fish are getting all the nutrients they need.

The blocks are being spread out over the course of around 4 - 5 feedings daily, one in the morning and the rest in the afternoon. What brand of pellets do you recommend? I've got a bowl of algae pellets I used to feed tangs and damsels with. Not sure of the brand just yet.
Plus I'm not sure if the cleaner actually eats pellet... I'll have to see.

I have this stuff. The cleaner couldn't care for it but everyone else seems to eat it. Does this work for the pellet part of the diet?New Life Spectrum Marine Fish — New Life Spectrum®: Fish Food

Yeah, these are a solid option. NLS has been popular for a long time!
