If I feed my SPS, I use cyclop-eeze.Most of my SPS have been seen consuming it, although I went years without feeding them at all, and they grew like weeds. I do not think additional feeding is required. If you want to though, use cyclop-eeze, newly hatched BBS, or my favorite, a regularly spawning pair of cleaner shrimp!!

I feed mine on a rotational basis a variety of Phytoplanktons, also reef-roids, cyclopeze, "combo-vital", and oyster eggs. I often mix up a batch of the works and store it in the fridge and give them a little squirt of that. I generally feed every second night or so.

dumb question???
If sps only need to feed on light, why do they ( acro's for example) extend their polyps when the lights are out? I just assumed they were feeding. Why do some of the other sps (mycedium (spelling?) for example) send out sweepers? Is it only to attack other corals? I thought they are trying to feed as well.
I have experimented with feeding and not feeding and it seems my coral's get brighter, look healthier and grow faster when I feed. Is it my imagination? Please tell me if I am wrong. If I am wrong I'll not bother feeding them and start saving some loot.

 anyways they will also eat bacteria and such they can get from the water column so maybe thats why they are out. Steve

I am surprised from the overall consensus.
 I was was like Greg (Snappy) and was feeding mine or so I thought. So money wasted by the sounds of it.

I started feeding reef-roids and have noticed a huge difference from not feeding, my corals were healthy and bright before in two weeks since i started reef-roids the colors are brighter and the corals in general seem even healther .
I have used cyclopeze to feed my smaller fish, clown ect love it but never noticed any feeding reponse from corals like i do with roids.
