Good, I try to remember to state FROZEN and not dried but sometimes I forget (I don't feed any dried) and if it is tiny, you should have the correct version. The brittle/serpent will start moving around almost as soon as you put it in the water and you should have seen the Chromis eating it right away. Get the brittle accustomed to feeding about the same time each day (just by putting food in at the same time). They are nocturnal for the most part but will learn feeding time and come out before you offer food if you are consistent. Then try offering a very small piece of table shrimp. This is a treat though and likely should not be offered more than once a week. They can't hurt you but they do feel a bit strange. You can try your hand once it starts coming out at feeding time but you may wish to start with a stick. They have no eyes that can focus but do have photo and chemical sensors so they will react quicker than most animals to stuff in the water (and once comfortable in their environment will scramble to the incoming food location. They live for years and are entertaining to watch. This is a video of Mr. Green Jeans (the kind I recommend NOT getting) scarfing up a piece of hand fed shrimp:
The piece presented is really too large for most and I would use a quarter that size (.25 or less than the disk). Neal fed this piece to show that the greens can take in much larger pieces of food than you would think. Mr. Green Jeans is my oldest living mobile animal at somewhere between 6 and 7 years in my tanks (I say tanks because he has been moved over time, initially because he was picked on and the isolated because he became aggressive).
