As you may or may not know, Nutramar is (was) one of the sure-fire frozen foods to get finicky fish to start accepting prepared, and a mainstay of pipefish/seahorse/mandarin keeping. Anecdotally I've also heard it's good introductory food for some of the more stubborn kinds of wrasse and anthias. It stopped being produced a little over a year ago at least in the US after a brief surge of popularity locally - it <u>was </u>being carried in many sponsors' stores. It's also coming back into stock online... in "two weeks" for the last year+ timeframe. 
I came across a recent group buy thread on the Houston Reef club for a product called "Lobster Eggs"...looks very similar to Nutramar and appears to be accepted by said finicky eaters to the same degree when I reached out to some reefers that got in on the deal. It's packaged by a couple of companies in the EU and at least one company now imports it: (both products are based on the same food (prawn roe):

I'm trying to drum up interest to get this a group buy/club purchase of ARC's own - Jeff's (porpoiseaquatics) has agreed to look into it, but before we draw on his all-to-fleeting personal time let's hear it - who wants to lay in a supply? Please vote in the poll above and at the end of a week we'll see what the interest is. Thanks!
