    I wouldn't think it should smell bad but I have never used it.

    How long have you had it? Has the smell changed from new?

    plankton

    i have had it for about 5 months, the smell has changed since it was new.

    I was also wondering if you guys might recommend a different product to give my mushrooms, xenia, and torch coral. what would be the best food for them?

    Did you refrigerate it? Five months is a long time. I use products from Reef Nutrition. reefnutrition.com/

    IME, it's not necessary, or even possible to directly feed mushrooms and xenia, and a torch will take small meaty foods like mysis. I've never been a big fan of any of those 'bugs in a bottle' products with the possible exception of live pods and live phyto. Most corals that would take zooplankton won't accept the dead stuff anyway. IMO, it's just a pricey way to foul your water a little quicker
