what are you feeding your corals?

[Nano]

Hey guys I'm just seeing how many people didn't do their homework (like me)
and hadn't been feeding their corals either hard or softies. If you are feeding
them, what are you using? I am using reef roids, by polyp labs (just started
today lol) If anyone else uses this, what kind of results are you getting and
in what time frame?

I feed my corals fish poop.

These days I'm feeding Acan Plus, Pacifica plankton, Mysis and NL spectrum pellets. Fish, corals, worms , crabs, everyone seems happy.

Depends on the coral:

zoanthids: chromaplex, reefroid, coral frenzy, fauna marin
Palythoas: frozen cyclopeeze (they eat), chromaplex etc...
SPS: Zeovit amino acid, sponge power, reefroid, coral frenzy
LPS: frozen cyclopeeze, mysis and all the rest
non-photosynthetic like sun coral or dendro: cyclop, mysis, brine, eggs, pretty much any food in small chunk.

thanks for the replies guys, I'm also wondering what kind of growth you see from feeding

Mine eat fish poop too with the exception of two open brain corals who get New Era LPS pellets otherwise they bleach.

Remember, the more you feed your corals, the more they poop. Yes, corals poop too which means more nutrients. Imo, don't feed unless you have to.

so if we are talking about feeding, than lets also ask, do you experiance in coral growth and development/color when you feed ore not feed.

I never fed my corals, maybr once in a while, but always wondered, if I should do more, ore not

even feeding the green algea, I considdered, but as culturing them is a big hassle, I never got to that, as I did not know it there was lots of added benefit

so if you write that you feed, pleas also incloud your experiance with the development part, thanks

I found my Duncan coral grew much faster when I fed it a few mysis a few times a week. Same with RBTAs. Nothing else grows any faster or has any color changes in my tank (brains, Candy canes, Acans, Euphyllia).

Acan Plus to my acans every 2 - 4 days. Mysis once a week unless I feel like treating the fish too twice a week. I dont feed the zoas or the hammer but I am sure they grab what they can after the pumps scream back on.

With acan plus I have noticed my acans really have grown and are especially puffed up the day after feeding
