Question Feeding corals

What do you guys feed your corals? I was thinking brine shrimp may be a way to go as live food, anyone know if that works well?

I recommend you go back to the readings that were suggested to you in your other thread.

Brine shrimp can be equated to candy for fish. Their size, and movement make it hard for some corals to catch. As well the amount of artemia caught by corals isn't that high compared to what you may be putting in. For example only 5% may be caught and actually eaten.

Each type of coral requires specific food sources, there isn't really one blanket all food that you can use.
